I just saw and loved Kenya Cagle's other film too - The Undercover Man. My friend and I were talking and we have come to the conclusion that he is the next Steven Spielberg. Something about his films is different. If you are from an urban area, you can hear the language and the honesty in his films. No his films are not perfect but in perspective, his stories are dynamite. Stories mixed with good acting/directing makes for a perfect film in my mind.
That kid Charlie (Ernest Dancy) is a terrible little monster. It just amazes me how his mother (Nafeesha Pasha) protects him at every turn. No matter what he does, even when he kills someone, she refers to him as her baby and is always willing to testify that he is a "goodboy". I've seen this happen over and over. A mother's love blinds them from recognizing their child as the terror they really are. When the Uncle (Kenya Cagle) finally put up bail, I knew the deal. I had a family member like that too. Luckily for me, my answer was 'hell no'. When my family did get the money. The little smut left town just like Charlie did. That made me angry in the film. I wanted to go after that kid myself.
All in all. Very identifiable. The movie is great.
