Dolemite is My Name (2019)

Look out, everyone. The king is back. Eddie Murphy gives a roaring return as Rudy Ray Moore in Dolemite is My Name. A biopic that delivers in laughs and thrills as it recounts the creation of a blaxploitation movie icon. From a neighborhood fool to the baddest actor there ever was. Eddie Murphy brings alive Rudy Ray Moore as a sincere entertainer who didn't take no for an answer. Through the rough and tumble 70's , Rudy Ray Moore's art of persuasion helped open him the door to stardom as a dirty wordsmith on stage to a bonafide action star on the big screen. This is the role Murphy was born to play. In many ways, Dolemite's story is his. For fans of vintage cinema or Eddie Murphy, this is a full blown recommendation from me. 4 and 1/2 out of 5 STARS.
