    Drama mixed with action

    Loved the movie. Really entertaining and passionate acting. Story of an unlikely friendship. Recommend this for all to watch. I only wish the story had a bit more, I felt like it gave way in the middle but still giving it a 7, hopefully they will make a part two.

    Omar's a talented actor, I know he's going to make it big!!! Nice to see Burt Reynolds in this also. Enjoyed it

    It's just a mediocre movie certainly not a seven out of 10 movie

    The acting in the beginning was horrible, but it got better as the movie progressed, but was never great. I'm surprised they put Burt Reynolds in the credits at all, considering it was more of a cameo appearance as part of a flashback. They must have done that just to try to boost attendance as he was not an actual active character in the movie.

    An absolute howler. Don't bother wasting 90 minutes of your life on this drivel!!

    How on earth can this be rated 7.7?

    I started watching this movie with excitement. It was rated 7.7 (which I consider quite high). With a rating like that surely it is very good. Such a rating really raises the important question of legitimacy. These people that rate the movie a 9 or 10 must be somehow tied to the production, or they were simply paid. It is disgraceful. The acting is absolutely woeful and the director needs to go back to film school because I am not sure how anybody could have let slide what was seen on the dailies. This is a C grade movie. At its absolute best. If I was involved in this production I would be too embarrassed to put my name to it because if people are turning off your movie 10 or 20 minutes in... Surely something is majorly wrong with it.
