Put some mildly interesting plot spices and a lot, and I do mean a lot of Krumping throughout, you get RIZE.

RIZE features very wild Krump moves, some awesome, some provocative, and some even hilarious but all entertaining nonetheless. I'm no street dancing fan, but this movie showcases some of the most impressive Krump moves I've ever seen.

The acting's good for a movie like this. It's not going to win any Oscars but it's far from average. Some of the jokes actually cracked me up few times.

Great music. Big beats that will thump your heart out. It's what you would expect from a documentary exposing such a wild dance culture. Intense, tribal, and all that; can't find the words. Music plays a big part in this movie obviously.

Cinematography is good. Fast cuts that flow seamlessly. Very MTV like. It won't win many awards but it sure works well here.

The documentary displays the best of Krumping, the people involved, and their culture. If you have even a passing interest in Krump or urban dance styles then RIZE will be the one to watch.
