The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

The first must-see film of the year.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Sunset Park was full of twist and turns that I did not see coming in the best way. The story is dark and gritty and keeps you on the edge of your seat. The performances by all the actors involved were wonderfully done. Michael Trevino and Robert Miano had outstanding chemistry as Gino and Gramps. They were by far the best relationship in the film. This is also a must see for Michael Trevino fans. In his first leading role, Trevino proves that he has the skills and talent to carry a film. He navigated the ups and downs of Gino's life flawlessly. This was totally worth the two year wait. I would totally recommend this film to Trevino fans and anyone who likes an underdog story. My one and only gripe is that I wish it was longer.
