Goines, che venne definito lo &#8220;Shakespeare del ghetto&#8221;, fu un pregiudicato che scrisse decine di libri, dentro e fuori la galera, per pagarsi la droga, ma che ottenne un successo imprevedibile. Il rapper DMX (vero nome Earl Simmons) interpreta il gangster King David, criminale elegante quanto estremamente violento, che torna alla sua citt\u00e0 natale alla ricerca di redenzione e dove invece trova una morte violenta. Ma la morte di un re non \u00e8 sempre come la si vorrebbe, e King David ha la sventura di spirare tra le braccia di un bianco, il giornalista Paul (\u00e8 il David Arquette di\u00a0<em>Scream<\/em>\u00a0che somiglia maledettamente al cantante Holly Johnson con qualche chilo in meno).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paul non \u00e8 diverso solo perch\u00e9 bianco ma anche per il suo poco interesse per i soldi: a lui interessano di pi\u00f9 le cassette lasciate nell&#8217;auto di King David con i suoi ricordi e le sue riflessioni sulla vita di un gangster, un materiale che pu\u00f2 valere oro nella mani di chi \u00e8 in grado di valorizzarlo. I nastri a poco a poco rivelano, con colpo di scena finale, che il ciclo di violenza che le azioni di David hanno innescato gli si \u00e8 ritorto contro, come anche lui aveva previsto. Dall&#8217;illustre substrato della &#8220;gangsta culture&#8221; nata nei lontani anni &#8217;30 Dickerson non riesce a tirar fuori un&#8217;opera che sia per qualche verso interessante, almeno non quanto lo possa essere la vita di Donald Goines, per conoscere la quale ci sono per\u00f2 altri strumenti, migliori di questo inutile e trascurabilissimo film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">di Alessio Sperati<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Il direttore della fotografia di Spike Lee Ernest Dickerson trasforma la citt\u00e0 di Los Angeles in un palcoscenico<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":22738,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22737","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cinema-recensioni-novita-approfondimenti"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Never Die Alone - Reflections<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"King David ha deciso di redimersi ma, invece di trovare riscatto, va incontro ad una morte violenta.
