Charm City Kings Reviews
How you got Meek Mill (A Philadelphia Native) in a movie about the dirt bike culture in BALTIMORE CITY! That was strike one. Strike two, the young kid who the movie was centered around did a terrible job of trying to mimic the Baltimore accent making this movie extremely hard to sit through. Baltimore City has a lot of young talent that always goes unnoticed ! It would’ve been refreshing to see an actual kid(s) from the city take on this role and do it’s justice because Jahi Winston did not.
This is a BRILLIANT movie! I enjoyed every moment of it. I'm a huge fan of the director Angel Manuel Soto. He did a Fantastic Job and made a Masterpiece! I'm looking forward to seeing his next film 'Blue Beetle'.
Underrated gem. Surprisingly moving while also being energetic and an excellent film.
Jahi Di'Allo Winston shines in a complicated role and Charm City Kings is an off the radar gem. Other than a 3rd act turn, the film is generally a completely plausible one. These types of movies haven't been made for all races and it's about time there is one focusing on the city of Baltimore and how hard it is to make something of yourself in this place called America. It's not perfect, but for a complete culture this film should have been seen by tens of millions not tens of hundreds. It is a really good inner-city coming of age drama with a few laughs to keep it going. It is based on a documentary on the dirt bike and motorbike scene in Baltimore. It is well worth the time. Final Score: 9/10
The greatest 02 hours: and 05 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A great movie about the youthful pursuit of genuine freedom and expression. It's a big bad world that awaits a young man. But this cleverly acted out and well made story let us witness how a young man's future shapes up when met with a web of cross roads.
Great acting, powerful story and great pace of story telling. So much better then I thought it would be.
This movie does not take viewers into urban street bike culture as the title and previews would suggest. The first real glimpse into that world comes during the closing credits.
Very well acted and engaging movie.
The movie sadly falls in all the coming of age in the suburbs cliches without bringing anything really new or fresh to the tables. The characters are pretty as stereotypical as the setting and it is kind of a shame because the performances are effective and there's a great work done in the directing with very nice riding shots and a good sense of editing. Not special but enjoyable...sometimes it's enough depends on your mood.
Great drama with a lot of meaning to it. It seems to unfortunatly have truth to it and happens to a lot of kids across the world. I think it gives perspective to kids who grow up not having to worry about money.
Come on critics. I know it is Netflix but come on. This movie is ok but nowhere near 60%. The story is lame, acting is ok but not great. Camera work is on a highschool level. Same movie with different actors would get 30%.
This movie was so good, really liked pretty much everything about it . It’s only once in awhile you get a great performance from kid actors . All three were perfect in this movie and even meek mill was awesome 4.3. I felt like meek was even a mentor to me just watching this . Hopefully there are a lot of people like him out there on the streets. I never realized Baltimore had an accent until this movie either . I really wanted mouse to listen the whole time so badly
Great story about redemption and righting wrongs!
This movie is based off of the wonderful documentary called 12 o'clock boys. This movie sucks in comparison to the original.
So much detail in this real life universe full of emotion is carefully caught and displayed in full splendor by director Angel Manuel Soto.
2 Thumps Up!!! A must see!
It's one of the best written and directed movies I've seen this year!!! You won't regret watching it!!!
