Beggarman

I didn't know what to expect when I saw the screening at the Garden State Film Festival, but was captivated by the story, cinematography, acting, and production quality. The grit and development of the main character really came through and captured the imagination the entire film. I was emotionally captured as one could imagine the difficulty of a veteran dealing with the realities of finding a money filled time capsule and the impact of the real world. Trying to convince people to help you while also dealing with the very real scenario that these same people would harm you for their own benefit given the opportunity, while implausible, resonated and made for a great plot line. Needing to use the cash in the luggage to help improve one's life after so much trauma was heart wrenching and the outcome kept me gripped to my seat. If the goal of cinema is to explore the characters to drive an emotional outcome and lose oneself in the art, this movie overachieved. Great work by all involved and looking forward to more from this team.

This film is an absolute gem. It's original, gripping, and endlessly entertaining from start to finish. The sharp writing and precise direction make it no surprise that it's been a hit at multiple film festivals. The pacing keeps you on the edge of your seat, with no dull moments. The lead performance is outstanding, capturing the vulnerability and determination of a character who's fighting for a second chance, yet constantly surrounded by danger. For anyone who loves intense thrillers with fresh plots and unforgettable characters, this is a must-watch. It's exciting, smart, and has you craving more. I'm definitely hoping for a sequel to see where the story goes next!

Beggarman had my full attention throughout the entire movie. Great story, great acting and great scenery. Definitely worth watching. Love that it's real and what I mean by that (without giving any spoilers) is that we see the things that go on in the movie in every day real life. It makes you feel all sorts of emotions. I had the opportunity of watching Beggarman at a film festival without really knowing to much about the plot and I so glad I didn't because it had me locked in from beginning to the end. Oh man! Definitely a must watch. I promise you won't be disappointed. Great job on the directing too.

Got to see the movie at the 2025 Garden State Film Festival. This movie was far and away the best one there. Truly enjoyed the acting, the writing and the overall feel from the movie. The locations were great, and gave a real New York City feel to the movie, gritty. Sometimes when movies go for a gritty feel, they also come across as amateurish, but this movie felt polished.

Also thought the performance from Lenny Thomas was excellent. He comes across as an actor that you will be seeing more from down the road.

Overall highly recommend checking out Beggarman. Definitely worth a watch and hopefully there will be more places where people can see the film.

Amazing movie that captured my attention throughout the entire film. I absolutely loved it! All of the actors were fantastic and the storyline kept me glued to the screen. I had fun watching this with my family and everyone enjoyed it! It didn't feel like we were watching a movie, it felt like we were there and part of the experience. It is a unique story and didn't feel like anything I had seen before. Lenny Thomas did an incredible job in his role as Beggarman and I highly recommend this movie to everyone. Whether you like action, suspense, or love, there is something for everyone in this powerful story.
