Review of Rise

Rise (II) (2022)
6/10
Enjoyable but expected better
5 November 2022
Honestly I expected more for the first attempt for Yiannis' life on the big screen. There are good scenes of course showing the struggle the Antentkounmpo family had to go through but overall it feels flat. The music could work in another film but it feels strange in this one. I would have preferred Nigerian music. Most greek background actors have a US accent which again is odd. The scenes do not intertwine together. It feels like a bunch of scenes were put together to complete the film.

Don't get me wrong though, it is still a fun family film by Dinsey, but for me it lack passion and feeling. Can't believe I will suggest this (and hope at least a friend of mine won't ever read this) but Hustle (by Adam Sandler) is better.
