Michael B. Jordon honed his talent on series like The Wire and Friday Night Lights. His performance seems natural but that doesn't mean it was easy to achieve. It's subtle, deep and fiery.

Ultimately, Fruitvale Station is a great film because it sticks to a single core concept - the portrayal of a single life, the mundane, difficult, and sublime nature of which was lost in the media controversy and the ensuing riots.

Oct 19, 2014An effective tribute to a regular, normal, imperfect American who was a victim of horrible injustice. It makes us sad, but also more aware of the fatal flaws of our system.Jared H Super Reviewer
