An epic tale about a supremely intelligent young African-American male who rises from the ferocious and oppressive streets of North Philadelphia to being a shining star in the lucrative world of high finance at Wall Street's most prestigious firm.

His only chance of survival is to fully integrate a mysterious gift from a slain childhood friend fully into the fabric of his character. Written by Rel Dowdell

Heart wrenching, Suspenseful and Engrossing
15 May 2012 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

I was enthralled right from the start. The cinematography was great—the depiction of the murals was absolutely phenomenal! I was almost afraid to blink that I might miss something. The story took off and kept me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. There were times I tried to predict what would happen next and was completely wrong—which speaks directly to the twists and turns in this film being so eloquently placed. It definitely tapped in to every single one of my emotions. I'm sure everyone can identify with the characters—we all know or knew of someone just like Dre, Darrell and his grandmother. Changing the Game, simply put-- genius!
