Exploring the life and music of celebrated jazz musician,Miles Davis; Miles Ahead is directed by, and stars Don Cheadle.
I like the approach taken with this trailer, the style, editing and pace is very engaging.
It also looks like Mr. Davis had quite the sense of humour. Something that must have been fun to be around. Except of course, if you’ve wronged him in any way. Bring on the great music music.
I remember being very excited after seeing the Mordecai teasertrailer in late 2014, for reasons including very promising dialogue and Johnny Depp.
What I didn’t anticipate is that upon seeing the David Koepp-directed movie, my favourite thing about it would be the aerial shot special effects for the film’s various locations.
Why this particular response? It’s the overcooked accents that spoilt the experience for me. Not to say that everything else about the movie is great, mind you. It may simply be the case that Charlie Mordecai’s particular brand of eccentricity is really just best enjoyed in small doses. I.e. the movie’s fun trailer.
Am I missing something? Did anyone absolutely love it?
