Comeback (2000 Video) User Reviews

A strange movie; it definitely rewards multiple viewings.

The first time I saw this movie I thought it was okay but I didn't think that much of it. The second time I saw Comeback on BET-Movie it made me more curious.The third time I saw it I realized there's a lot more in the film than initially meets the eye. The flashbacks get pretty intense; before long I was saying "Wow!" It's a strange movie, and definitely rewards multiple viewings.

great moments in this film

William Kelly has a great eye. There is action here worthy of Woo. He shows a nice touch with comedy and I enjoyed the mix of genre.

I'd like to see this film again -- It has fresh moments and a great playfulness. Overall well worth watching.

I thought the characters of Jimmy and Sammy were very funny.

I thought the characters of Jimmy and Sammy were very funny. I was also impressed with Joe the Boss, the father, and the landlord. I felt the story to be truthful and thought provoking. I really liked the way the love story was presented. I found that to be very truthful also.

This is an entertaining and heartfelt story of failure and redemption.

This story interested me because it explored a world rarely exposed in cinema, that of the reggae music circuit. The story is an apt metaphor for the tribulations we all must face in our lives and overcome if we are to achieve any self realization.

funny, dramatic, musical and very hip

This is a feel good film which has strong dramatic impact, is often quite funny, has a unique visual sense and style and great music. You keep hoping that the good guys will win, but are never quite certain. The streets of New York are used to great advantage. The story moves so quickly along that the film is over before you wish it to be.
