I have never been to Baltimore but I have done extensive research on the city itself. Anyway, this independent film is named after Baltimore's nickname, Charm City. The reason I picked up this film at Blockbuster because I was curious to see Baltimore as the backdrop. Anyway, the film is about three male characters who are inhabitants of this great American city going through tough times. I have to say what impressed me most about this film was the high quality and that it doesn't look like a studio film more like a reality series but it isn't. There is a story there when you can get through understanding what is being said and the local slang terms. Okay, I don't speak like they do and I never had or will but I did take the time to understand the actors who were playing these roles who took their jobs quite seriously. Okay, these are all unknown actors and actresses. Maybe that's why it seems like a reality series because they seem so real to us. I can't think of seeing them elsewhere. Anyway, I believe Derrick Thomas, the director, editor, and producer, behind this film could be the next John Singleton and Spike Lee. He captures the painful realism and reality of urban living. He depicts hot button topics like AIDS, drugs, and sexuality in urban America. I am surprised that nobody else has reviewed this film here.
