Luke S Jan 8, 2019 So good and true to Cleveland

Kylo R Jun 10, 2017 Between a 6/10 and 7/10, Caple has a unique eye and a strong sense of place. Here's hoping that next time he applies them to a fresher story. See more

Theodore G May 15, 2017 Not as desperation provoking as FRESH+Brooklyn's Finest. The movie still portrays the reality of living amidst fellow citizens in a landscape negatively affected by the UPPER CLASS business and culturally significant difference in Advertising directed at impoverished blacks+Puerto Ricans.It highlights the feeding frenzy frenetic immolation which comes from hopelessness and despair! The ending seemed to focus upon this inevitability! See more

George W Jan 2, 2017 This movie does a great job of showing how the naivete of youth can have disastrous consequences for the kids and their extended families. The plot plays out in a way that causes the audience to share in the anxiety of the characters See more

Han M Aug 2, 2016 I'm excited to see what Steven Caple Jr. can do directing the Creed sequel after this film. This was filmed in Cleveland, OH where I live. It isn't like a tourism ad showing off the features that make Cleveland great, but instead takes place in the poorer neighborhoods often after dark. Still I take pride in my city be featured in a well-made indie like this. The coming-of-age story was written excellently by Caple with realism and an absence of clichés. The cast, especially Jorge Lendeborg Jr., Moises Arias, Rafi Gavron, and Ezri Walker, is uniformly wonderful. There have been many movies with teens torn between a life of crime and bettering themselves. With the different ways the tragic choices and circumstances affect each of the teen friends this film offers a unique view. It is a thrilling drama that surprised me in big ways. See more
