    Definitely a good watch

    I was a little nervous at first because the quality was giving Tubi, but it was actually a really good movie.

    Some of the sound quality in some scenes wasn't too great and there was some predictability, one part caught me completely off guard though lol. I'd definitely watch another one of your films if you create one.

    If you're casting for kids reach out to me.

    The film definitely caught me emotionally and I even cried at the end.

    They did a great job at drawing viewers into each character and their background and personality.

    The length was perfect there were no bland points in the film. If anyone says this was bad, they're lying.

    Intriguing & entertaining!

    I really enjoyed the authenticity of the actors ! The plot,... I was totally engaged. A different perspective of why we make difficult decisions. All the characters were believable and it was interesting to see each character develop.

    I appreciate the mix of talent- veteran names as well as new actors help drive the storyline. The chemistry between the characters was authentic...it didn't seem mechanical .

    If there was one to add, more time. I could've watched more of this movie. I'd even love to see Noble Intentions 2! The ending definitely left room to do so

    I'll definitely watch this one again.

    Great movie, cast, crew and director.

    I enjoy watching a hard working young man who positively interacts with his mom and community. Until, something changed. The story, characters, direction, cinematography, actors, lighting and everything else were great. It makes you question your thoughts on why people take certain paths. I laughed and cried. I'm reciting lines after watching several times. It's a must see. It's refreshing. Famed veteran actors Obba Babatunde and Aaron D. Spears (Goggle them) added an extra appeal. How exciting to see them in this Indi film! The young new actors were phenomenal. I hope you watch, enjoy, share and leave a great review. Enjoy.

    the good angles of a told story

    A watchable movie. Writing was a tad predictable with some exceptions. Actors lost the scene by over stating the concept, under selling the proposition, or miss selling the emotions making many scenes rough around the edges (direction). A few moments break the third window to remind the viewer its a B movie, but as such it's better then many.

    Sound elements were passable except for 1 scene. Lightning was good. Many of the sets were clean and consistent throughout. Props and attire were good, loved the cars and related effects (sound system effects).

    Worth the watch, but probably won't do it again.

    I enjoyed it!

    I highly recommend.

    I worked with james in a previous film and I enjoyed his craftsmanship his direction his choice in casting and script. He did it big in this film I enjoyed every second of it.

    This movie is very relatable to today's society. I love how the movie was unpredictable. A lot of plot twists to this movie to keep you thinking and to keep you on your toes. The cast did a phenomenal job portraying their characters while also staying in character. I'm so thankful I was able to watch it on Amazon prime. I'm proud of James he's doing an awesome at what he does.

    Looking forward to the next film!!
