A Better Way to Die is written, directed and stars Scott Wiper. For some reason Scott’s character is assumed to be in possession of a thumb drive that evil Lou Diamond Phillips wants and a bloody chase is had across what I assume to be southern Indiana.
It’s bad.
The only thing good about this movie is Andre Braugher who plays hired gun Cleveland. Cleveland and his cousin Sweet Lou are hired as henchmen.
Braugher is fucking great.
(Cleveland’s employer has just implied that wearing a bullet proof vest is gay)
His vest by the way has his name on it. Also, everyone in this movie dies, except Cleveland who is saved by the vest.
Braugher gets all the best lines and treats this garbage fire like it deserves some gravitas.
My favorite line, the one I used to shout out whenever Braugher appeared in anything is “YOU CAN’T STOP ME MOTHAFUKKAAA!”
Yes, delivered with his head sticking through drywall and laughing with a gun pointed at him.
And as you probably know by now Andre Braugher died yesterday. Maybe you first found him through Homicide or Brooklyn 99 but for me it was this amazing actor in this garbage movie.
RIP Cleveland, I still believe the motherfuckers can’t stop you.
