Disclosure: the writer and director of this film, Christopher Bradley, was one of my film professors. I took 4 of his classes. I am also acquainted with the cinematographer, Aiden Chapparone. So, there is some inherent bias in my review.
This is a well-made film (especially given that it was made locally in the Phoenix metro area) with an interesting storyline. The film shows some of the incredible difficulties ex-cons face when they are released from prison and the lengths one may go to feel normal again. I had little knowledge of the subject material, so this film was very informative. I didn't have many expectations going into this film, but I left having been interested and entertained throughout the entire runtime. There were several outstanding shots that I found impressive. The acting was also good. Overall, a very good movie. Give it a try!
