STRAW Delivers Exactly What It Promised

STRAW didn’t surprise me, and that’s not a bad thing. I expected something solid, and that’s exactly what I got. The storyline is tight, the acting is on point, and the casting just works. Taraji really carried this one with ease. She was sharp, expressive, and totally in control of every scene she was in. I’d say a strong 8/10. If you’re looking for something grounded with great performances, STRAW is a solid pick.

Hmmm

The movie was impeccable. Taraji outdid herself ngl. The movie was funny especially the reaction of the bankers especially the reaction when they discovered she wasn't carrying a bomb.
