‘Widows’: Viola Davis Got a Crew of Steady Mobbin’ Women with the Shits

Who runs the jewels? Girls!

I am saying this in the most DMX voice possible. This is what the fuck I’m talking about. This is what I want Hollywood. Four women (predominantly of color) getting theirs the ski mask way? Yes. A thousand times Yeaaaasssss. Ric Flair “Woooo!” Lemme calm it down for a minute. I’m so sorry. I’m just excited. Staff writer Mikkel put the trailer for this new movie Widows in the Slack, and I dunno how to act right now.

Widows

We see Liam Neeson in this film married to Viola Davis and dude’s got a crew that’s out here getting it in the ski mask way. I’m talking stick up kid style. Steady mobbin’ Lil Wayne track. What’s a goon to a gobblin’? Got it? Listen, I was only 20 seconds into the trailer, and I already know I’m seeing this in theaters cause they got Jon Bernthal in here plus Michelle Rodriguez. Which means so far, we got dude from Taken being married to Analease Keating from HTGAWM plus The Punisher and Fast and Furious‘ (I-XXV) Letty are all in this film? Take my fucking money now.

The premise of the movie is these robbers get murked doing a job. They’ve stolen a lot of money from a lot of people. The police and rival crime bosses are putting pressure on their wives, the widows Veronica (Viola Davis), Linda (Michelle Rodriguez), Belle (Cynthia Erivo), and Alice (Elizabeth Debicki). You know damn well these women ain’t about to let that shit slide. They aren’t folding for anything, and they all do what women always do. Fix the shit their damn selves. Yes siiiiir, I said that Set It Off music is back and in full effect.

Widows

Viola Davis out here in the tank getting big with push ups, pull ups, and muh fucking dips like there’s no tomorrow, not giving good gotdamn. How to get away with murder turned how to catch a body. I’m here for it. Michelle Rodriguez stepping up in the Kevlar vest. Mind right, money right, and ready to drive a supped up Honda into war. I’m with it. Cynthia Erivo on the heavy bag. Ready to “Down Goes Frazier” whoever steps to her? I’m fucking with it. Elizabeth Debicki picking up the hammers listening to gangsta musik (Aye!). I am with all of the shits.

Can we talk about the villains right quick tho? Daniel Kaluuya and Brian Tyree Henry? W’Kabi and Al up here looking like true damn villains. These guys looking like straight assholes, and the messed up part is I dunno if they’re criminals trying to take over the operations fo’ the dead husbands or the detectives working the case. That’s when you know you’re a good villain.

Widows

Here’s a fun fact, this is a remake. There was a UK tv mini series by the same name that came out back in 1983 and again in 1985 (there was one woman of color in the cast then). Now in the year of our Bast 2018, we got a remake with women of color all over the place, rocking ski masks, pulling out glocks, and taking all the charges. I repeat. Yes! Yes! Lord, Yes! I’ve never been so happy to see a bunch of men get murked on a heist so that these widows can come through with the shine.

Widows is in theaters November 16th, 2018.
