The topic and quality of this film are bad. This is a B movie at best, more like a high school play. The acting is bad, direction is amateur, plot is by crayons. Just as study after study shows, the hands up narrative used by Michael Brown is fake. If you remember, the title of the movie is taken from that case where a dozen witnesses said he had his hands up and was begging for his life when he was shot by the cop. At trial, they all recanted. Turns out he had just committed another felony and had assaulted the cop and tried to take his weapon when he was shot. This movie is that silliness played out on the big screen but with the lie intact. Skip it.

This movie is definitely a good movie if you from Chicago you know how it is.its about the Westside and its true story.its a awesome movie we need more movies to show Chicago.blessing.

Hats off to the director and executive producer of this movie!! This is the first movie and directorial premiere for the director/writer! I thought the movie was very good and captured a weekend of events of real life in Chicago!!! Anyone from the Westside of Chicago will appreciate seeing familiar neighborhoods and landmarks and the majority of the actors/extras in the movie are from the neighborhood and it was really COOL seeing them shining brightly on the big screen! Please don't let the negative reviews distract you from watching...give the movie a chance for yourself! Can't wait for the writer/director to make his next film!! (Shout out to Atwater (Chicago P. D) so handsome!!)
