Excellent performances and very suspenseful. The characters were very well fleshed out and felt like real people. The premiere I went to was very fun and the crowd looked to be on the edge of their seats for the entire movie. I thought the actor who played cuz was very compelling and a highlight of the film. My brother was in the movie and I am very proud to see him in the film. I thought the cast was very into their roles and delivered exceptional performances. It seemed that a lot of heart went into this movie and it shows on screen. If you are a fan of exciting thrillers, this movie is for you.

Great film with stellar acting

[jwbdevil · 9/10 · 6 April 2024]

This gritty crime drama showcases the masterful acting of Kevin Interdonato and Adam Ratcliffe in a seriously good film. Great support cast as well, including Brian Anthony Wilson.

The story revolves around a criminal crew in Trenton that welcomes back a former leader (Michael) that had to "lam it" after doing something nefarious for the gang's boss (Paulie). Returning after 7 years, Michael reunites with his best friend (Cuz) who is coming off the rails and initiating a power struggle with Paulie.

What brought Michael back? Where do his loyalties lie? Will Cuz succeed in replacing Paulie? You'll have to watch to find out. And you'll be glad that you did.

Wow. Just wow. Kevin Interdonato is some actor.

No nonsense, old school crime thriller

[dttjhscd · 9/10 · 13 May 2024]

If you're looking for fancy effects and unrealistic car chases, this isn't the movie for you. If you're looking for great acting, a good plot and realistic dialogue, you will love this film.

It's gritty. It's raw. It's real. The main cast is stellar and the supporting cast more than holds their own. I think the performance by Kevin Interdonato as Cuz is one of the best performances that I've seen in years. I vacillated from loving the character to hating him continually throughout the film. Adam Ratcliffe does a fine job at playing the main character, Michael in a nuanced and controlled performance.

For an Indie film, this is one special movie.
