    Does more than capture the excitement of marching bands; it gets their clockwork beauty as well.

    This film takes chances and is abundant with style, seeming to pick-up where "Brown Sugar" left off, introducing editing conventions not normally accustomed to African-American film.

    It's an odd, overly long picture, filled with too many pauses but dotted with just enough funky band sequences to keep you interested.

    It's like a musical with no big numbers, or an action film withholding the explosions.

    Hands down one of the best movies I have seen, seriously. Great storyline and Nick Cannon really gets into this character. Drumming was unreal and story had some nice twists.… Expand

    Drumline contains some good ideas, but the execution is bad. None of the situations go far enough dramatically, and none of the drumline sequences make enough of an impact on you.… Expand
