RZA’s ‘One Spoon of Chocolate’ Opens in Theaters as Early Reviews Spotlight Shameik Moore

The release reunites RZA with Quentin Tarantino, hinting at a breakout for Shameik Moore.

Overview

  • The independently released film is now playing in U.S. theaters.
  • Shameik Moore stars as Unique, a veteran recently out of prison in Ohio who becomes a target for a racist sheriff and a crew linked to missing Black men.
  • Unique studies a survivalist handbook as he plots revenge, a touch RZA says grew from a real manual he was given years ago.
  • RZA praises his rapport with Moore, likening it to director–actor pairs such as Spike Lee with Denzel Washington or Ryan Coogler with Michael B. Jordan.
  • A JoBlo review calls the movie a raw, bloody grindhouse revenge ride, rates it 8.5 out of 10, and says it positions Moore as a rising action lead.
