Pierre's August bait, Lost Soul, is the story of acclaimed singer/performer Marvin Gaye, played here by Laz Alonzo. The cast is extremely bloated with such stars as Sharon Leal, Alfrie Woodard, and Denzel Washington, but the crew leaves me interested with Spike Lee as director. The writing overall could be a lot better with numorous grammar errors, as well as feeling like I'm reading a Wikipedia page about Marvin. The awards campaign isn't very well written either, and the actors that are campained leave a bad taste in my mouth. This could easily have been a gem, but it feels like the early days of Bait an Oscar, bloated casts, bad grammer, and simply unbelieveable.
Grade: D
