Review: The premise of the movie is what drew me to this screening. Unfortunately, the storytelling was sub-par. The characters were transparent, and without depth. The abundance of overly positive life altering changes of the main character was simply not believable. We are led to believe that this once extremely flawed character is almost entirely without flaws leading up to that fateful night. The handful of supporting characters were lackluster, with only hints of hidden talent. While the film had the look of a very well made student film, it didn't exactly scream out that this is a writer/director to watch. Upon leaving this screening, my only regret was that I hadn't gone to a different screening. On a side note; Forest Whitaker's name has been thrown around with this film. While he is listed as a producer on the film (the very last producer credit), it would appear that the only real association with Forest Whitaker is that the film was made because of a financial grant issued by him.Free Watch Fruitvale Station (2013) Full Movie Megashare Stream Free
