The Dukes

About This Movie

The Dukes is an interesting blend of comedy, crime, and drama that captures the essence of fading glory. The story of these Doo Wop singers, who once ruled the stage at 17, now grapples with the harsh realities of aging and irrelevance in the music industry. Robert Davi's direction brings forth a gritty yet humorous tone, making the characters’ desperation palpable. The pacing ebbs and flows, occasionally allowing for reflective moments amid the chaos of their ill-fated heist. Performances are heartfelt, especially as you see the camaraderie and struggles within the group. It's a unique take on nostalgia and the lengths one might go to reclaim lost fame, wrapped in a quirky, offbeat vibe.
