Release Date: September 26, 2014 (limited)
Studio: XLRator Media
Director: John Ridley
Screenwriter: John Ridley

OutKast’s André Benjamin stars as Jimi Hendrix in this revealing biopic from Academy Award-winning writer-director John Ridley ("12 Years A Slave"). Covering a year in Hendrix’s life from 1966-67 as an unknown backup guitarist playing New York’s Cheetah Club to making his mark in London’s music scene up until his Monterey Pop triumph, the film presents an intimate portrait of the sensitive young musician on the verge of becoming a rock legend.

For every awesome name like Benedict Cumberbatch there's some poor soul named:

Not bad but I feel like Andre is just doing one Jimi impression after another. It doesn't sound natural at all.

And the Imogen Poots thing cracked me up.

I agree. He looks just like him, but I'm definitely concerned about his acting.

I think he sounds just like him. I guess all you nit-picking bastardos must have seen an extended version of the trailer and/or know Jimi on a personal level...

Looks like a fairly generic 60s period piece with a love story thrown in.

Portraying Jimmy is a big deal, and this will likely be a polarizing film. I didn't see anything there that was wildly discouraging, but there wasn't a whole bunch to see.

It's an important role, I hope he Kilmers it.

Doesn't look like anything ground breaking, but looks like a capable biopic. He looks like great as Jimi.

the delivery of the "power of love vs love of power" was cringeworthy
