Checked out the movie Didi yesterday.
Really enjoyed it.
The movie doesn't overstay its welcome. Easy running time at 90 minutes. Very good performance from the lead actor Izaac Wang (recognized him from a small role in the comedy Good Boys from a handful of years back). He does a lot of good non-verbal acting in the movie. Subtle stuff while quietly listening or observing. Credit to the director Sean Wang who wrote, directed, and produced the project; (his directorial debut too). The movie is based in Fremont, CA and was filmed there per the end credits.
If you have enjoyed movies like Eighth Grade, Booksmart, North Hollywood, and Superbad ... you'll probably enjoy this one too.

Small Town Troubles
PRAISE: I went into this movie thinking First Blood. You have a character Terry Richmond (Aaron Pierre) with one goal in mind but he's literally hit by a police officer and a lot more trouble follows. But writer/director Jeremy Saulnier wants more from his characters and the viewers of this movie. So of course he gives you the First Blood vibe but he also throws in some Michael Clayton ( one of my favorite films) . This movie is about survival and people. Sometimes that survival is tied to corruption or literally trying to survive a barrage of bullets and Sauliner knows how to give the audience both and does it to a T with every twisty word spoken and every bone that cracks. Pierre is great in this providing all of the intensity and frustration,plus a good dose of raw emotion in very well acted scenes. This has to be matched with an adversary and it's Don Johnson as Chief Sandy Burnne who's as no nonsense as he is corrupt and Johnson is great as Burnne. AnnaSophia Robb is quite good in the movie to as a court clerk named Summer who does her best to help Richmond. I really liked how they fleshed her character out. The supporting cast does well to portraying people that either are turning a deaf ear to the corruption or realizing they do have their limits.
PROBLEMS: As the movie nears it's climax the pacing slowed down a bit and I did wonder why a couple of scenes had to be so drawn out since everything in those scenes had already been explained.
Scale of 1 to 10 an 7½
