Beggarman

Saw this movie at the Garden State Film Festival 2025 and was very entertained. Great story of redemption, great acting and solid New York story. Cool film with an old school NYC vibe. Lots of action propel the story and each character has an arch. Fun moments and comedy in this film, as well. Peter Greene is fantastic in his role, always with an edge and you can really feel for Lenny. Matt Grossman as the cab driver is fantastic. Super fun watch at GSFF in Cranford, NJ. Will def watch on streaming and recommend highly to film lovers, especially those fans on "Mean Streets" and "French Connection."

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!

Frankie Montero and the Old York Pictures team smashed this movie! I was lucky enough to catch the premiere during the Garden State Film Festival and was completely blown away.

If I had to describe it, I'd say it's like Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino collaborated on a film - and the result was "Beggarman."

It's a nail-biter, it's funny, it's sad, and it's real.

All the actors in the film were fantastic - from the leads all the way to the supporting cast and extras.

I truly enjoyed this film and highly recommend it. Can't wait to watch it again - I've been telling everyone about it!!!

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.

Lenny Thomas nailed this role! Got a sneak peak of the movie and it's fire. First started following Lenny in his role as Dikahn in Tyler Perry's Ruthless (Also nailed that role). Awesome dude. You're missing out if you don't watch this movie! He's also a pretty solid gamer! Great at photography and videography as well. Well rounded person, awesome personality. Met this guy IRL, not stuck up at all like most Hollywood celebrities. This dude is definitely going places, I encourage anyone who reads this review to follow his budding career! He'll be a household name before you know it! Wishing peace love and success to this guy!
