    Convincing drama
    New French Blaxploitation but brilliant, tense, gripping, this tale of half brothers that could remind John Singleton's BOYS IN THE HOOD or some movies from the Hughes Brothers made in the early nineties; cry from the ghetto's stuff. Great acting, I repeat, Kaaris is purely awesome in this gang leader character, but I don't imagine him playing something else, for instance a cop. This is a cute and poignant drama, maybe not really crime drama, but surely social drama that deserves to be seen. So please don't despise it because it seems to be destined to Black audiences. It is not, I don't belong to these audiences and I really appreciated this movie produced and released by Netflix.
