Please don't spend money on this.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
I really liked it. Solid Story. Action was a little lacking in budget. But the premise and the executions was really good.I think that people are being harsh on this for no particular reason. You're gonna tell me that Malik Yoba wasn't great. He was.Matt Singletary- Solid lead.Nation- Great villain.The Alderman - that guy can really act.Marion was good.Her mom was good.Little John was kind of the heart of it all.Stop being goofy. Give it a shot. Watch it all the way thru and you will see there is some great stuff here. The message is OUTSTANDING. The acting is REALLY good.It was worth my money and time. That's all I ask for. Particularly of an indie flick.Don't listen to nonsense. Give it a watch.
