Hurricane Streets

Hurricane Streets was one of the most powerful, realistic movies I have ever seen. Marcus was on the outside who every teenager is on the inside. I should know, I'm 16.

I rented this one on a whim, and really enjoyed it. It's the first movie I've seen since Kids that gave a realistic portrayal of teenage life. All the actors are believable as 15-year-olds (I especially enjoyed Brendan Sexton and the girl who played Melena), and the dialogue was realistic. Up until very late in the film, all of the plot twists were things that could have happened in real life. Also, the film showed the downside of a life of crime without coming off as preachy. I'm looking forward to seeing more work from everyone involved in this film.

Well your message was sort of un-informed. Morgan J Freeman is not the same as the actor Morgan Freeman(Seven, The Shawshank Redemption.) And the movie was really good, just because it didnt tie up all the "loose ends," doesnt make it a bad ending. Figure it out for yourself, not everything has to have a happy, hollywood ending, so you dont have to use your mind and form your own interpretation.

This film never really went anywhere, or did anything. Last review was 2012?? Damnnn... But KIDS 1995 is definitely more entertaining but not exactly in a good way though... lol

"Hurricane Streets" is all about Marcus (Sexton), a disaffected teen boy struggling to grow up in the mean streets of some waterfront hood in NYC. A slow starter with a weak story, this flick manages some par performances from a cadre of young actors as it dogs along, peaking late, and ending abruptly with an unsatisfactory resolution. "Hurricane Streets" is a mediocre cable watch at best which will leave you with the feeling you've seen it all somewhere else before. (C)
