Dead Presidents 1995 123movies

Watch: Dead Presidents 1995 123movies, Full Movie Online – This action film, directed by the Hughes brothers, depicts a heist of old bills, retired from circulation and destined by the government to be “money to burn.” However, more broadly, it addresses the issues of Black Americans’ involvement in the Vietnam War and their subsequent disillusionment with progress in social issues and civil rights back home in the United States, during the 1960’s..
Plot: On the streets they call cash dead presidents. And that’s just what a Vietnam veteran is after when he returns home from the war only to find himself drawn into a life of crime. With the aid of his fellow vets he plans the ultimate heist — a daring robbery of an armored car filled with unmarked U.S. currency!

Tries to do too much
Dead Presidents is an okay movie. Not bad, not great. Okay. I give it a B-.

I give Dead Presidents high marks for casting and acting. Larenz Tate, Chris Tucker, and the rest did a fabulous job. I also like the war scenes–very gripping, very scary.

The problem that I have with the movie is that it spans too many genres and as a result, just seems to drag on and on. The tag line would make you believe that this is a cops and robbers film centered around a major heist. But that is terribly misleading. The heist doesn’t happen and isn’t even an issue until late in the film. Up to that point you could consider this a life in the ghetto movie, trying to escape the ghetto movie, a Viet Nam war movie, a what life was like for blacks in the late 60’s early 70’s movie, a what the Viet Nam war did to those who survived it movie, so on and so on. By the time it came around for the big robbery, I was wondering when this movie would end. This problem of too grand a scope keeps the movie from getting an A.

Great Movie
This was a great movie, and I think it was overlooked. It is one my favorites due to the unique storytelling and action. This movie is way better than 90% of the crap that comes out today. The acting is also superb, and I think it Chris Tucker’s greatest performance. Even though the story has a lot of action, it’s very believable, which is hard to do in Hollywood. For those who haven’t seen this movie I suggest you go and rent it now, it’s a modern day classic. Sit back and be prepared to watch a great moment in filmaking. It’s definitely underrated. I think if it was promoted better it might have done better, especially since most war movies do well.
