Juelz Santana, who somehow gets second billing even though he’s barely in the thing and only kind of stands around in a couple of scenes, plays a character named Bandana. Cam’s character is named Flea, but it doesn’t seem to be a Red Hot Chili Peppers reference.Here are some things I learned watching Killa Season:

Avoid this movie at all costs if you value your sanity. And Killa Season is two and a half hours long, which makes sitting through the whole thing a Sisyphean ordeal. Even by the abysmal standards of straight-to-video rap movies, it’s unbelievably fucking bad even Choices 2: The Set Up had, like, Tiny Lister in one scene. As Ryan Dombal says here, it’s filmed all Dogme 95 style, with only natural light, wind-noise obscuring dialogue and characters often only visible in silhouette.

There’s no IMDB page to verify this, but it seems pretty likely that there’s not one single professional actor in the whole damn thing.

It isn’t a story so much as a series of loosely strung-together vignettes, and, like Infinite Jest or some shit, it ends at a totally arbitrary place right before what I guess would be the climax. Killa Season is everything ATL isn’t: gratuitously and ridiculously violent where ATL is calm and mostly believable, hateful where ATL is affectionate, utterly incomprehensible where ATL makes sense, totally half-assed where ATL is well-executed.
Cam’s appeal rests on his surreally warped eloquence and his matter-of-fact arrogance and his near-perfect ear for beats, and absolutely none of those things translates to the screen all he has to offer is a goofily ignorant charisma, and even that is only good for a couple of decent punchlines. Of course, maybe everyone who stayed home just figured out what I should’ve known all along: Killa Season was never going to be any good, ever. Even though the movie’s star and director Cam’ron was supposed to give a Q&A after the screening (he didn’t show, of course), the theater was barely half-full, and that doesn’t exactly say anything great about Cam’s future prospects. Everyone there got severely searched and wanded-down before going inside, and most of the small-ass crowd was made up of Dipset dorks like me who actually thought that maybe this thing might be at least a little bit good. Nobody’s been killed at any of the screenings of Killa Season that just went down at Village East Cinemas, the only ten screenings the movie will ever get before it hits DVD. I was pretty shocked to hear that there had been shooting deaths outside a couple of ATL screenings there’s not a damn thing in the movie that could construed, even loosely, as glorifying violence, but then I guess that’s just what happens whenever any sort of cultural event brings together a bunch of low-income kids.
In a way, seeing Killa Season just drove home what an unexpected treat ATL was: warm and funny and naturalistic, with fairly well-drawn characters and good performances, a rapper playing against type as a decent and hard-working blue-collar type, an unhurried but, um, let’s say comprehensible storyline and subplots that had at least a little bit to do with the nominal main storyline, great camerawork and editing, and a general good-natured glow about it.
