Deuces (2016) User Reviews

Some Plot Holes, But Decent Overall

[guidegoldblatt · 7/10 · 13 April 2017]

When I first started watching Deuces, I wasn't sure how much I was going to like it, since this is a well-trod genre. In the end, I have to admit it won me over. I think the plot is good (if a little clichéd), the actors did a good job selling their roles and were likable, and the movie moves along at a brisk pace. Definitely not The Godfather or Citizen Kane, but worth watching.

My main complaint with the movie is that it never really explains how Jason Foster, the undercover police officer played by Lance Gross, develops such strong relationship with Deuces, the crime lord played by Larenz Tate. They seem to become best buddies at the drop of a hat.

Other than this complaint, I enjoyed the movie and liked the ending (though totally unrealistic).

Good movie

[haey-72697 · 5/10 · 17 June 2021]

It could've been better, but it's a good watch. Meagan Good is sexy as always. Lawrence Tate player his role good. The twist at the end is worth it.

Underrated

[corycivi · 7/10 · 23 August 2023]

Deuces surprised me considering there's not much they can do with a run of the mill plot such as this one. I will say there is some unnecessary filler in my opinion such as the romantic elements in which it could've done without. It's a crime movie, I couldn't care less about a soft core sex or romance scene, they could've implied it at that point because it was out of place and pointless. Other than that the overall acting was believable and genuine, everyone involved did a fantastic job, it felt like a real story. I liked the City of God reference (one of the best films ever made). I didn't expect how it all played it and I was satisfied with the ending. All in all, it was enjoyable. It's one of those movies I can only watch once after knowing how it ends. Cinematically it was nothing special, but it entertained me.

Is this Menace II Society Part 2

[Luke_Dawg · 30 December 2018]

The reason I believe this is 'Menace Part 2' is due to the fact that O Dog got out of prison after getting arrested in Menace and changed his name to Deuces and started a crime ring making tons of money. Makes sense since O Dog has aged and was from South Central in this movie like he was in Menace. You may disagree but don't you think it's a possibility?

Undercover cop goes in too deep.

[singhlall · 7/10 · 25 July 2020]

Above average drugs and glamour story. Some good performances and a fast pace makes this watchable and dare I say enjoyable.

Very bad acting and plot from the start

[rodriguez-alfonso · 1/10 · 17 August 2018]

When I saw this film available on Netflix, I ran to check the reviews on imdb and the trailer. Did not seem that bad, despite the mixed opinions on it, and I thought I could give it a try. The plot is known, but so badly introduced, the characters so badly drawn, that I could not stand the whole show and I had to end it. Despite this fact, I can tell you I saw a good deal of it and its bad as a movie can be.

More False Reviews..Shame on IMDb> Since Amazon Bought it..

[Ladybbird-269-945146 · 1/10 · 18 June 2017]

Disgraceful, that since AMAZON bought IMDb, & CLOSED Sincere reviews/comments on a movie such as this, BEFORE its' INTERNATIONAL release dates.. What is the point of posting a review any more on here. I used to post my thoughts before..& AFTER I HAD PAID to see the movie FIRST.

This movie is NOT on general release until 16 August 2017.

I have not seen it yet..BUT I am so angry that I am reading more FALSE REVIEWS by folk connected to this movie & others, in their efforts to promote them, that I have started this thread.

SIMPLE as that.. ALL about money folks..

Great Movie!

[fiftycentqueen · 8/10 · 7 July 2017]

First of all...To Ladybbird....I'm not sure why you're saying false reviews. Not sure why you haven't seen the movie, but it was on Netflix for about 5 months. This movie is not going to theaters. It will be on BET July 10th. The info here about general release is false. Anyway, I saw the movie on Netflix about 3 months ago, and I must say I loved it. I've always. Been a Larenz Tate and Megan Good fan so when I saw they were in it I was already excited. Great story line, and perfect climax. Tune in on BET on July 10 if you haven't seen it.

Commercial property, like Donald Trump stuff.

[nogodnomasters · 3/10 · 18 March 2020]

Deuces (Larenz Tate) is our protagonist bad guy. He murders, deals drugs, runs a bar and wants to get into commercial real estate. He also respects women. Jason Foster (Lance Gross) is the undercover cop who is tasked to infiltrate the group. . . and his sister (Meagan Good) is Deuces woman.

They opened the film with a nice Iron Butterfly cover and then they dumped on it by having someone rap over it. That set the tone for the whole film. The script wasn't worth making.

Guide: F-word. Sex. No nudity.

Deuces

[vanessamichellepowell · 10/10 · 1 September 2017]

This was a great surprise. Awesome movie, the script was well written, Larenz Tate, Megan Good, and Lance Gross, along with Rotimi (from Power) and other actors Were AWESOME. A great mixture of suspense, action, love and drama. An absolute must see! I want to find out how to buy this to contribute to my movie collection. Jamal Hill is a great producer-doing great work--I now an official fan.

Interesting story line marred by horrible acting.

[CantCatchMike · 3/10 · 22 August 2021]

All I can say is 'One bad apple spoils the bunch'.

The acting is so bad, I paused the movie intermittently times asking myself if I had to continue.

However, the story line does have some interesting plots.

Mini Power

[davidonka · 8/10 · 24 February 2020]

Felt like I was watching a mini version of tv series 'Power' with little switches here and there. First of all you have 3 major actors on Power (Rotimi, Lauren Tate, La la Anthony) playing on this film. Both storyline is drug and crime related. Ghost on 'Power' falls in love with a Secret Service Agent who's assigned to take him down. Deuces on 'Deuces' becomes best friend with an undercover cop assigned to take him down. Ghost on 'Power' becomes successful and wants to walk away from drug business. Deuces on 'Deuces' becomes successful and plans walking away from drug business. Both characters have estate business as one of their retirement plans. Dre on 'Power' (played by Rotimi) snitches on Ghost. Face on 'Deuces' (played by Rotimi) snitches on Deuce. I could go on and on. The fact that I already saw all seasons of 'Power' before seeing 'Deuces' made it real hard for me to enjoy BUT IT IS STILL A GOOD MOVIE and worth watching.

Superb Movie

[ddbears · 10/10 · 26 April 2017]

A coworker recommended I watch this movie because they knew I like anything Larenz Tate and Meagan Good features in, and I must say I loved it. It was a great cast of actors in which they all were superb. I was a bit puzzled at the end though, but you would have to watch it to see. I am a huge fan of all the actors and wish them much success and keep those great movies coming.

Larenz Tate & Rick Gonzalez--THEY GOT ME GOOD!!

[tyojacqueline · 10/10 · 10 May 2017]

Deuces has a phenomenal cast, I've been waiting for Larenz Tate to make a come back on the Big Screen! There's no doubt that the actors as a whole made this film come to life. I enjoyed the rivalry and unrest between Larenz Tate and Rick Gonzalez. It would be great to see them work together again, their chemistry kept me engaged and unprepared for the climax. Here's to another copacetic film filled with crime AND suspense by Director, Jamal Hill, that kept me guessing and wanting for MORE!

Dope

[kemboiroby · 9/10 · 1 September 2018]

High rocking especially when the undercover police join the family of drug dealers

Everyone don't want to see you elevate

[francoischristana · 10/10 · 28 April 2024]

Typically, drug dealers use that lifestyle as a stepping stone to improve their circumstances, but some individuals become accustomed to it and start to get intimidated by others when they start to change or they observe someone wishing to move on because they believe that person is attempting to prevent them from eating. Before he met Reece, Deuces didn't have a friend with whom to share suggestions and advance his real estate plan forward which solidified their bond. In my opinion, for Deuces character to be described as alert, paranoid, and meticulous, he granted Reece access to his operation without thorough researching him.

Loved it

[mdalexa-12969 · 9/10 · 14 December 2019]

Took one star because I don't condone the illegal activity but loved the cast and story. Appropriate ending.
