Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Marcus Carothers wrote, directed, produced, and starred as Marcus Carothers in what is meant to look like an autobiographical film. (I have no idea what is fact or fiction.) Marcus spent 7 1/2 years in prison and gets out on parole where he finds it hard to stay straight even with the help of God. He gets encouragement from his dad, junkie mom, prostitute girlfriend and gay hair dresser.The film also looks at his gang/ former gang who run "Vulture City." Acting could have gone up a notch. Carothers was supposed to be a poet, but we heard very little of it. (Not that I like poetry or anything.) Film is most meaningful to those who most likely won't see it.Guide: F-bomb. No sex. Brief butt nudity.
