Tyler P. @TylerPhoenixMD Mar 15 A tad bit slow but very dramatic and suspenseful. It captures the era well. The music is great and so is the acting! See more 01/22/2022 No one asks to be a streetwise kid but sometimes that choice isn't made for anyone growing up young One in particular is Marcus, he wants out of the lifestyle To meet someone and leave New York City to spend free time with his mother in New Mexico Lots of the internal conflicts involve being in a gang he's lived his whole life Not to mention Marcus' mother is sitting in prison for smuggling undocumented aliens into the country So for now he resides with his grandmother Then he meets Melena hoping to steer him in the clear path of life free of crime and delinquency Her father is very overprotective of her too But can Marcus easily walk away? This is just an okay coming of age film with a lot of unknown actors and many quiet moments Yet it does feel very gritty and rough dealing with adolescence given the lifestyle these kids have to endure on a daily basis Mainly Marcus and Melena have had the roughest upbringings with broken parental units So of course both of them are dying for a new change in their lives Not the most memorable of viewings but still life-like enough See more 07/01/2016 A simple and effective '90s realistic street adventure See more 07/27/2015 Very solid indie from heyday of indies. See more 05/21/2013 Possibly the greatest coming of age drama since The Last Picture Show. Half a star is deducted for the horrible acting by everyone except Sexton III. See more 11/18/2011 Loved it. The angst, the drama, and the everyday pressures of life that all of us face whether we know it or not all work together beautifully in this piece. See more Read all reviews
