Bosco

BOSCO was one of those movies that surprise you. You go in thinking one thing, and leave with a whole new perspective on things. Who knew one jail cell could keep me engaged for so long. It's one of those films where, you know he gets out because it's based on a true story, but how it all comes together, that's what matters. The journey each character goes through during 90 mins is insane!! The kind of movie that moves you and those around you. This movie flew by. What a cast, the acting was superb. And i read somewhere this is the directors first film?! Well that guy has a bright future I'll tell you that much. Do yourself a favor and check this one out on Peacock (if you have it lol). It has a lot to say, in a condensed format that doesn't get boring. Enjoy the flick!!!!

This is 2024 green mile! The acting is so amazing! You will feel the emotions through the camera. Do not miss out this is a must watch. It's an eye opener that will inspire others to never give up! A young man as told he wouldn't and so he did! The story of Bosco has not only inspired many through the film his story and life has inspired many here in Los Angeles! If any movie is worth streaming it is this heartfelt inspiring movie that t aches us to never give up and always believe in ourselves and dreams! Now that Bosco is out on peacock it's time it becomes the number one streamed movie! Thanks.

A friend recommended this to me because he knows i'm a fan of prison movies but wasn't expecting this. Thought by the poster might be more like a low budget action movie. I was wrong. It definitely is a lower budget under 10 million dollar movie, but caught myself fully bought in to the struggle of the main character, Bosco and the supporting characters. There were no big prison brawls although one cool fight scene that again, wasn't what I expected. The performances are great. I wish I had some more time with some of them, but the time I did have flew by. Was great seeing Vivica Fox in a strong role again. I wish there was more time with Bosco when he got out but I guess the writers had to stick with the true events of what actually happened. I loved the style of the ending scenes with the narrator over the music and all the cutting back and forth. The style overall was pretty damn cool. For all the maybe too quick paced storytelling, I still felt satisfied and like I was immersed in a world that led to some interesting questions.

OK so what does a movie need to really slap?

1. An all start ensemble cast (check) 2. A well written script that brings the prison cell and following escape, backstory to life (check) 3. A story that, is compelling, and in this case TRUE TO LIFE! (check) 4. Artistic style and direction (check check)

BOSCO is a quadruple threat. Checking all of the boxes. What a fantastic debut for budding talent, the writer and director Nicholas Manuel Pino. The story of BOSCO, the man himself, is insane. Escaping max security prison? The only person to do it in 2006. Watch this film!

I am very much looking forward to Nicholas' next film!!!

BOSCO moves the spirit and invites viewers to consensually shatter our own preconceived notions and conditioning around right and wrong, moral and evil, justice, family, and human potential. I've been in the industry since I was a child. In 2014 I left Hollywood to do more direct social justice work.

BOSCO restored my faith in the power of mindful media powered by guttural and righteous Truths, backed by the community itself. Aubrey Joseph bares the character's soul. Brilliant writing and cinematography offer intense glimpses into his depth of intellect and resilience. The action is as spiritual as much as it is physical. Some scenes are are to watch, yet offer a pill we didn't know we needed.

It was also a pleasure to meet the cast and crew at the premier. Everyone is like a family and is so supportive of Quawntay and his daughter. Several expressed knowing loved ones in similar positions. The time is now to grow the movement around prison reform and BOSCO is an inside edge that can build trust with people from all walks of life.

I look forward to how far this film will reach in terms of both acclaim and impact.
