Cru

When the movie started I expected it to be good because I love Keith Robinson as an actor, but not THAT good! I watched it twice and managed to still cry crocodile tears. I give the acting and production quality 2 thumbs up. The story was realistic and very heartfelt.

There was an acceptance between this group of friends that was very refreshing as you don't usually get to see positive images of black males especially in moments when they're most vulnerable. If you don't call someone and tell them you love them after the film, someone might have to check your pulse!

Congratulations to Oliver and Alton and the entire CRU team! Job well done.

Oh! How could I forget...did you realize that was Keith Robinson singing the score!?! "Looks Like We've Made it" BIG Chune.

Great movie to watch with friends!! It so refreshing to see black brothers in a "cleaner" light than the way other films portray them. The only thing I would change, would be that I think maybe it should have had a little more interaction between the boys in the beginning to show the closeness of the friendships, but the end sealed it for me! Also the interaction of Marshall and Michelle "back in the day" would have added a little drama to the film but all in all, great film. You gotta watch it to see what happens... The soundtrack was 5 STARS!!! Although I may add that the actors voices kinda got a little soft in some areas. A MUST SEE FILM!!

By the end the movie there was not a dry eye in the screening room at the Bronze Metal Film Festival. I'm not sure if it was from the story line or our overwhelming pride of Oliver. Seeing his and Alton dream become reality.

From the opening credits to the closing credits this movie captured my attention. The story line was dramatically realistic. The chemistry of the actors drew you into the movie making you feel like you knew them personally. The music throughout the movie was outstanding. This was a life changing movie for me personally. I forced me to evaluate life and the people in my life and cherish each moment.

I am extremely proud to call Oliver W. Ottley III one of my dearest friends. He put his heart, soul and personality into this film. I congratulate him as well has Alton Glass on a job well done. I look forward to seeing more of his work in the future. This is a movie you don't want to miss.

This movie has such great meaning. Must see to appreciate!!!!!! I've seen it several times and told my family and friends about it!!!! Tear jerker close to end....

The Cru storyline is easy to follow and identify with. The acting is excellent, and the emotional intensity of each scene was palpable. I gave the film a solid A-. It touches on the issue of teenage driving under the influence without being cliché or preachy. There's bound to be a situation or character in this film that each viewer can identify with. The film is really about the effect that one decision or a single moment can have on the rest of your life. Definitely going to pull at a few heartstrings. Several of the film's themes will resonate with the audience. The score for the film is excellent as well. I was impressed with the music and appropriateness of some of the selections. The photography and editing of Cru adds to the intensity of certain scenes and enhance the viewing experience. Overall I enjoyed watching a film featuring Black actors that was about everyday issues of the human experience. It's not just a story of perpetuating stereotypes. I look forward to this film becoming a classic among multiple film enthusiasts worldwide.
