A watchable movie. Writing was a tad predictable with some exceptions. Actors lost the scene by over stating the concept, under selling the proposition, or miss selling the emotions making many scenes rough around the edges (direction). A few moments break the third window to remind the viewer its a B movie, but as such it's better then many.

Sound elements were passable except for 1 scene. Lightning was good. Many of the sets were clean and consistent throughout. Props and attire were good, loved the cars and related effects (sound system effects).

Worth the watch, but probably won't do it again.

I havent seen a film in this genre that was worse on every level.

Plot - from a Erkle styled black youth with a paper route to a kingpin running a syndicated section of the city and all in the matter of a few months. Clubsy attempts at tear jerker moments from pregnant girlfriends to cancer ridden mothers, all the while weaving a meta narrative of a powerful, geriatric black syndicate running the drug trade in the projects.

Acting - the main character seems to sleep walk through every dramatic moment, from getting beaten and extorted to having his family threatened to asking for a new paper route. All delivered with a dead pan, monotone, lids half closed, mumbling weary speech and body language. All the other actors are conspicuously devoid of talent or credibility.

Budget/cinematography - low low budget without the imagination to compensate. The most powerful men meet to ordain the new kingpin of a district. The meeting room looks like a low rent high school cafeteria with plastic fold out tables decked with cheap white cloths and folding chair t sit on. Theres no security, no amenities and no credibility. The low budget is very evident when we view scenes like the crime bosses trap houses. In other movies there will be dozens of people and levels of armed guards and look out but in this sad production, it's just the Boss and his henchman, "Shooter".

Such a sad, dreary uninformed description of life in the urban ghetto that it is astounding that IMBb gives it such a high rating (80%)??!

I enjoy watching a hard working young man who positively interacts with his mom and community. Until, something changed. The story, characters, direction, cinematography, actors, lighting and everything else were great. It makes you question your thoughts on why people take certain paths. I laughed and cried. I'm reciting lines after watching several times. It's a must see. It's refreshing. Famed veteran actors Obba Babatunde and Aaron D. Spears (Goggle them) added an extra appeal. How exciting to see them in this Indi film! The young new actors were phenomenal. I hope you watch, enjoy, share and leave a great review. Enjoy.
