“Iu0026#39;m not sure what the other reviewers were expecting, but this is an all-too-accurate tale of a ex-con who has come home to face his demons, while he tries to make a new life. No, there are no u0026quot;superheroesu0026quot; and no CGI action, if thatu0026#39;s what you were looking for! Itu0026#39;s all too real and all too believable to the point that that the film is a more than a little scary to watch. The main characters go full force into their roles and if you were expecting a happy ending…well, donu0026#39;t.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMcCaul Lombardi was an excellent choice to play the lead role of u0026quot;Keithu0026quot; and never lets us down in his believability. The film is shot in the vein of u0026quot;The Wireu0026quot; and gives an accurate depiction of how sad some area of Baltimore have become.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOne star subtracted, though, for all the unnecessary use of the tobacco drug, which should have been left of this and all other films!”
