ARNEZ C. @Arny6tearz 5d In James final performance he delivers Jacob is not messing around the not only do 3 friends find out but everyone else does as well what a thrill ride. R.I.P. JVB❤️ See more tm11999 M @tm11999 Apr 24 3 good boy college bound grandma loving urban youths get sidetracked by taking a wrong turn into evil white mans Christianity hell and almost get murdered by Jesus' pastor. they save the white blond girls and as the sissified white boys all try to be rappers and have no interest in the girls. super subtle racist claptrap, expect more anti white garbage in the future. go make sure your people are safe instead of watching this.

A shame he was so ill and gone before this film had a chance to gain momentum. The plot was spread a bit thin, but this was still a good story on truth and how corrupt the system actually is!! .. and what not.

It features striking sequences and isn't afraid to get straight to the point about what it wants you to think about. It won't be the best film of the year, but it's one of those pleasant surprises that cinema occasionally offers. A good way to pass the time, with thought-provoking reflections and a positive ending.

I loved how this is the kind of film that doesn’t rely on loud twists but instead builds tension through subtle, unsettling moments that keep messing with your head. The “wait…what?” kind of realizations hit throughout, not just at the end, and that kept me in my toes the ENTIRE film! What really stood out was how it quietly exposed the underbelly of classism, racism, religion, and power in a way that felt real, not forced. So many moments in this film felt both uncomfortable, but necessary. And the frienemy dynamic? Incredible! They were perfect foils, and their evolution felt earned and human. TLDR; this kept me on edge the entire time and has stayed with me after! Definitely a must MUST-SEE! See more Angelo P. @Darksev92 Apr 20 James Vander Beek’s last film performance is a good time in this intense crime thriller that involves racial profiling, murder and religion. Mason Gooding also puts on a good performance as the film’s main lead. I recommend this one a watch. See more Read all reviews
