  Booklyn's Finest
  
  We enjoyed the film - the 3 storylines made it more interesting. A mixed bunch of characters all played out very well with a suitable conclusion.

  Solid film
  
  A very strong cast, good performances all around. Sometimes slow in places, but somehow doesn't take your interest away from this well told story.
