Chris says: “Ostensibly about two graffiti artists/small time pot dealers on a quest to tag New York City’s most desired (and untagged) target, the big apple that pops up whenever the Mets hit a home run at Citi Field, GIMME THE LOOT is really more a slice-of-life in the mold of OUR SONG and RAISING VICTOR VARGAS, only nowhere near as good. Sophia (Tashiana Washington) and Malcolm (Ty Hickson) both show potential as characters (particularly the latter when he develops a crush on a client), but as the graffiti plot fades in favor of less urgent matters, the film meanders along ever-so-aimlessly—the personalities and plotlines are present, but writer/director Adam Leon can’t shape them into a satisfying whole. 2 cats”
