Thanks for the info.
The sound of eating interrupts the experience of the video
Exactly! I was really looking forward to this reaction.
Had it saved in my watch list for over a month.
And although irritated i was willing to overlook the eating.
It was the 'intentional' smacking directly into the mic, that made me stop at 2:40. So unfortunate.
Finally I found a new reaction to this classic of the 90's nad it's perfectly that both of you watched this for the first time, thanks for this.
My suggestion for the next black movie reaction is "Fresh" (1994), which anyone should have seen who likes these type of movies.
The Italian mob was a shadow of its former self at that time.
Cold line: your soul is required in hell
Yup.
