Watched this film at the Tribute to Charles Officer during the Toronto Black Film Festival this weekend.
The acting was fantastic. The use of specific images, angles and symbolism was extremely well done. Very moving.
I am not sure why it has such a low average rating unless people were expecting typical a typical gangster style film. Please know that there is plenty of violence but it isn't gratuitous. It is intelligent and the film portrays good guys & bad guys as smart, street-smart people who live a certain lifestyle that most of us do not understand nor are we exposed to during our own day-to-day lives.
I also really enjoyed the glimpse into the Jamaicn culture.
I highly recommend this film.
