I peeped this movie last week and wanted to watch it again immediately. Its that good for real. Adrian Brody plays Leonard Chess, the music recording entrepreneur who brought the likes of Muddy Waters (Jeffrey Wright), Chuck Berry (Mos Def) & Etta James (Beyonce) to music stardom though Southside Chicago’s own Chess Records. But more importantly I believe music fans should watch this movie because it trails how far American music has evolved from Blues to Rock & Roll to Rhythm & Blues to Soul and further on to Hip Hop…The only thing I regret is I wish it was just a little bit longer so they can go into more detail into each of the characters but Beyonce looked great, Mos Def was phenomenal as usual and Cedric The Entertainer who played songwriter Willie Dixon was hella funny. Go peep it!
