This is a true story that doesn't sugar coat the life of Jose Lucas. The viewer is given a raw look into the problems urban youth face. I was impressed with the group of actors that were pulled together for this film. They are all relatively unknown actors. They really step up to the plate and offer great performances. I would really like to see members of the gang in other films. They brought a realness to the screen. I'd bet money that we will see some of the lead actors move on to become big actors in big rolls. Great job Director Kenya Cagle in bringing this story to the screen. If you support and believe in independent film making, then you must see Brooklyn Gangster!

I had the opportunity to watch this film during its New York premiere and I was totally impressed with the story line and most of the actors (especially the Gangsters). I left the theater thinking if you're passionate enough you can create your dream on an extremely low budget. I suggest for those who have not seen the film, should!!!!! It's film making in its bare essentials. I also feel that if big Producers, Distributors and Directors were looking for talent this is the place to start. I am totally awe struck that this production team was able to do what they've done with so little money. I can only imagine if they were giving a moderate budget the magic that they would've created. Hollywood blockbusters are constantly putting out the same kind of films over and over again. I truly believe it's time for fresh faces with fresh ideas.
This is a great movie!!!

This is a great movie! You're gonna love it! It will give you a view of what is real for many people.
Everybody wants the good things in life. But what seems like a good idea at the time, and an easy way to get those things, can turn out to be a bad idea with serious consequences. It gets compounded and complicated when things go wrong and associates start making deals.
In this film, Jose and Lex find themselves in a situation you wouldn't want to be in. See this movie and see what that's like! Jose wanted the good things in life, just like you and me.
See this movie. It's well acted with good direction. You won't be disappointed.
