There's indie and then there's amateurish

This movie falls neatly into the second category. It's one thing to make a film on a budget. But a good indie flick makes up for limited funds with a great story, good writing, and most importantly, decent acting. Well, sadly this one lacks all three.I thought I'd give it a chance but, as usual, I should have looked at how many people rated it on IMDb. The number was unsurprisingly low. That should have been my first tip. Second, of the three reviewers who praised the film, two had only reviewed one film. That smacks of "friends and family" rating the movie. So it's relatively high rating is really meaningless.I gave the film about 40 minutes and just had to bail. Life is too short to watch mediocre movies. Nice try folks. Better luck next time!--MovieJunkieMark.

Wildly entertaining!

Talent and entertainment packed into a visually epic depiction of the late 80s. Great soundtrack to complement the aesthetics and story line. Character development follows the unique screenplay to keep viewers entertained all the way through. Flashback to classic 80s action with many clever twists. Classic cars, authentic costume design, witty humour, much needed street hoops and squash... Topped off with a great ending and an overall awesome theme that did not disappoint. Imaginably difficult if this was all on a strict budget but the talent pulled it off.Toronto is back on the map cinematically!!!!!!!!

Extremely entertaining

Cheat code soundtrack. Fictional street drugs. Montages with the main characters deleting beers. Over the top villain. Crucial basketball scene. This has everything for someone who grew up on 80's action movies. Highly recommended.'Going In' sets the vibe in the first 5 minutes of the movie and doesn't let go. Our main characters Leslie and Reuben hit the streets to find Reuben's brother who has been kidnapped by a ruthless street gang pushing a deadly narcotic. I won't spoil anything but the ending absolutely rules.Well shot, acted, perfect pace, and the aforementioned soundtrack rules. Support independent cinema and give this movie a shot.
