I Can't Breathe (God Forgive Them)

This movie was very gripping and disturbing at the same time. I felt such empathy and sadness for the victim for all he had to endure, and such disdain for the ignorance of the police officers involved, May God forgive them. I hope every law enforcement agency would require cadets to see this movie prior to joining the force. The sad part about it is that there are still police officers that behave this way in every city in every state. All my prayers and support to the victim and his family and pray that they may have a blessed life from here on in. I can't wait to see the final outcome I just see that justice is restored.

I'm sorry, I really wanted to give this flick a chance, seeing that it was produced locally. But really? Titling your film "I Can't Breathe" in the wake of the George Floyd tragedy? I understand that this film was meant to be an analogy for the story of Job, but it seems like a glaring oversight on so many fronts.

I like the way the movie starts out with action, and I have seen the ambulance reports, saying they needed to bring emergency life support system and hospital reports saying he was admitted to ICU. The man has been posting those reports on Linkedin and Facebook, along with deposition from the security guard on duty that night, stating the guard heard Mr Laresca screaming I CANT BREATHE, YOUR KILLING ME, and I AM DYING. He also showed police reports that say they called the ambulance because an officer hurt his wrist, pretty big contradiction with ambulance reports right there. So if I were put into intensive care by the police, and hired lawyer after lawyer without the police being questioned, I wouldn't let it go either. He also wrote a book about it in 2009, worked as a trader on Wall Street for 25 years, never guilty of a crime in his life, why weren't those police questioned? Sounds like the exclusive development in Boca Raton where this happened did not want this story out. Also why would the man offer 100K for the police to finally talk? If they weren't guilty why not talk, I would talk about anything if I was innocent, especially for 100K.

Excellent story! The passion and effort that went into creating this is amazing. Tom Laresca is an incredible person- so kind and genuine. He has worked very hard for a long time to share this story on a larger level. I was fortunate enough to hear the story directly from Tom and the movie is just as good! It is so amazing to be able to see it played out visually. The quality of the filming and acting is excellent- likely because everyone who had a part in this truly understands how important this story is. I highly recommend you take the time to watch this movie and share it with others. Thank you to all involved!

I honestly can't wait. If you watch until the end you'll know what I mean. Very powerful messages about police brutality, human rights, our connection with God, the afterlife, family issues / believing in yourself. The film was made from a book written by the main character (Thomas Laresca) and the events take place in the 90's. It's just another example of how the system is corrupt and innocent people are accused and abused by bad police and bad judges still today. This film puts pressure on a corrupt system accountable for their 'forgivable', but not forgettable actions. Very interesting film, I would highly recommend watching this.
