All All. Sign In. User reviews. Hide spoilers. Decent, But Not Great. The movie revolves around 3 families and how they tie in together living around the Mount Pleasant area. Since most people are familiar with the movie Crash I will say it has a similar style to it.
It has a realistic feel and the actors do a decent job, but throughout the movie I kept feeling as if something was missing. Some of the events that happened brought emotion and others seemed kind of silly. I won't give any spoilers or specifics, but I will say you will care about some characters more than others and not just because of the situations, but more so how they act.
If you get a chance to see this movie I'd recommend it because it's worth a viewing, but misses in being something you must see.
Don't let the message spoil the movie. Is there a polite way to say "pious dreck"? This truly disappointing film could easily be called "It's a hard knock life being middle-class in a turbulent housing market and having to slum it with the poor". I thought it strange at first that the vigilante goons who harass sex-trade workers and force them into less visible more dangerous areas were presented in such a heroic light, until I read that the director himself took part in this kind of activity.
Worth the visit. I am sure there is an inner city community in every large western city. I know this one well, because I grew up in it, worked in it and know it like my backhand. This trio of intertwining stories realistically depicts the complexity of this community.
