John Henry.
Is it original? Is it deep? Will it change society? No. Is the old western influences a little on the nose? Maybe. I think people complaining about the film expect it to be more than what it was meant to be. It's a short film with a straightforward plot. Side characters back stories aren't really explored. But I'm fine with that. The movie is not about them. I did not find it boring as some of the other reviews. I thought there was plenty of action and a plot just interesting enough to keep me engaged. I am also glad it did not fall into the tired trope of the "townspeople" rising up against the town baddie. It's a fine enough film to waste a little time. If you look at it as an urban spaghetti western the movie works. Stop trying to make it into something it is not.

Terry Crews stars as an ex-gang member reluctant to take revenge in Will Forbes’s over-the-top action flick. Credit... Saban Films Published Jan. 23, 2020 Updated March 4, 2020 John Henry Directed by Will Forbes Drama, Thriller R 1h 31m No kindness goes unpunished in “John Henry, ” a thug-life thriller so frequently preposterous that it almost resembles a parody. Like “John Wick, ” its action is juiced by the killing of a dog; unlike that movie, its titular character (played by the likable Terry Crews) is stoically disinclined to vengeance. A gentle giant with shoulders like an ox, he’s so determined to escape his gangbanging past that when he finally lumbers into action, his weapon of choice is a sledgehammer, not a gun. And his first victim is a car windshield. The plot — which distractedly follows John Henry’s attempts to protect a Honduran woman from his former gang — is burlesque and the dialogue is a trip. Ken Foree, as John Henry’s salty, disabled father, has a blast delivering a sentimental paean to his character’s once-legendary penis, and a pair of bangers debate the relative merits of being the front, back or center victim in “The Human Centipede. ” Gritty home video from the 1990s outlining John Henry’s back story interweaves with scenes of bad guys talking trash and playing cards, while dazed-looking women hang out in the background like dessert. For some reason, all the gang members wear impractical snow-white sweatsuits, probably to enhance our appreciation of the gore when they inevitably get plugged. Set in South Los Angeles, this first feature from Will Forbes is a big slice of ham. The occasional witty line must fight to the death with a soundtrack that flips from flamenco guitars to hustling rap, depending on which ethnicity is onscreen, and ends with a spaghetti-western flourish. Yet the finale — featuring a villain (Chris Bridges, better known as the rapper Ludacris) with a golden bar fused to his jawbone — isn’t nearly as surreal as John Henry’s mid-movie drugstore slow dance with an old flame. He’s there to purchase tampons, but, honestly, you don’t need to know. John Henry Rated R for blood spraying and head smashing. Running time: 1 hour 31 minutes.

John Henry, hero of a widely sung U. S. black folk ballad. It describes his contest with a steam drill, in which John Henry crushed more rock than did the machine but died “with his hammer in his hand. ” Writers and artists see in John Henry a symbol of man’s foredoomed struggle against the machine and of the black man’s tragic battle with the white man. John Henry Statue of John Henry, near Talcott, Ken Thomas Some factual basis exists for the ballad of John Henry. When the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad drove the Big Bend Tunnel through the Allegheny Mountains in West Virginia, from 1870 to 1873, steel drivers hammered steel drills into the rock to make holes into which to pack explosives. The modern steam drill was introduced into the South in 1870; hence, it is possible that the comparative efficiency of the two methods could have been tested at Big Bend. Although Southern blacks sang about John Henry, they told few stories of him, and, like Paul Bunyan, he is not truly a folk hero. The imaginative treatment by Roark Bradford in John Henry (1931) made the name known to many Americans.
IT is so perfekt.

Omg, what is up with that tampon purchasing scene? The acting was so bad and the CGI bullet strikes were proven low budget effects. Let's not forget to mention the amateur acting, I expected more out of Crews and Luda. my bad.

Producers behind the Terry Crews micro-budget drama “ John Henry ” are taking a victory lap this week, as their film has found an exhilarating second life and wide viewership on Netflix.
In a period that saw dominance from the second season of the Christina Applegate series “Dead to Me, ” and stiff feature competition from the Michelle Obama documentary “Becoming” and the continued reign of Chris Hemsworth’s “Extraction, ” the Crews film stood tallest — rating as the number one movie on Netflix this Wednesday, according to the platform’s own top ten list.
“John Henry” comes from debut writer-director Will Forbes, and producers Maurice Fadida, Eric B. Fleischman and Brian Kavanaugh-Jones. UTA Independent Film Group sold the project to L. A. -based Saban Films last year, which bowed in a quiet limited theatrical run in January.
Early this week, Fadida and Fleischman noticed only in browsing the Netflix app that their film had become available. Then the messages started pouring in.
“It’s common that the distributor will release the film to SVOD and not notify you immediately. But then people started texting us saying, ‘Hey, you’re number five! Number two! Number one! ” Fleischman told Variety, admitting he and Fadida were “baffled. ”
The project is based on the John Henry of folklore, an African American man known for his incredible strength. Many versions of the story, interpreted most often in music and literature, have been told since the 1800s at the birth of the American railroads. Henry was said to have been more adept at hammering steel than any machine, and the tool became his symbol.
Crews plays a character inspired by, or perhaps an emotional “descendant” of, the mythical John Henry, producers said. Crews’ Henry had a violent gang life in his youth in South Central Los Angeles, only to swear it off and internalize his intense well of strength as an adult. A gang kingpin played by Ludacris has different ideas.
Fleischman met Forbes, a composer by trade, while he was still in school and developing this world. Fadida said Forbes insisted on authenticity, and “brought his friends from the hood to set certain scenes, because he wanted the realest real. ”
Judging by social media reactions, the film brings an authentic grit and an unexpectedly subdued turn from Crews.
“Ultimately, if we were to distill the success, the movie is entertaining for a broad scope of people. I think that’s why it rushed to the top, ” said Fleischman.
Both producers, Fadida of Kodiak Pictures and Fleischman of Defiant Studios, find the success encouraging as indie filmmakers. That a film like “John Henry” could achieve such heights proves that Netflix can be a place of discovery for titles not fronted by Marvel stars and premium budgets, with over 182 million subscribers worldwide to boot, they said.
“We were very happy to see this platform democratized. We are not a Netflix original, and this was a micro-budget movie with zero marketing dollars behind it, ” said Fadida.
The pair were meant to take the film to Cannes before the coronavirus pandemic hit and seek foreign buyers, as Saban only took North American rights on the property. Given its success on Netflix, it is feasible the streamer could scoop up worldwide rights and dub the film for its global audience — though an interesting wrench comes in the form of a parallel project the studio is developing with Dwayne Johnson.
Announced in the fall of 2018, Johnson and his “Jumanji” director Jake Kasdan have a take on the character called “John Henry and the Statesmen, ” which aims to be a franchise starter populated with folklore characters. News that Johnson would himself play John Henry was met with backlash, given the character is a dark-skinned black man.
“A lot of the positive comments have been about Terry playing a dramatic role that he normally wouldn’t play, ” Fleischman noted, “and from a cultural perspective, him being the correct casting for John Henry instead of someone like The Rock. ”
Representatives for Johnson did not immediately return Variety ‘s request for comment. Netflix did not immediately comment on exploring worldwide rights on Forbes’ film.
Given their overwhelming week, the producers said sequel talks with Forbes have yet to take shape though they can easily see “a world where John Henry’s hammer goes on. ”
The men were set to reunite on the thriller “The Knocking, ” whose start date has been pushed due to COVID-19. At the Cannes virtual market this year, they’ll also sell the would-be SXSW 2020 player “Witch Hunt, ” and the genre thriller “Phobias. ”.
