Kevin L @Lakeman Mar 18, 2022 This didn't work for me. Not my age group, not my scene. I was also not super happy that the movie began and ended with young black people shoplifting. So, black people steal is the message here, or is director/screenwriter Adam Leon just chalking it up to being wacky teenagers getting a thrill breaking the law and taking away more trust from the general public? The acting by the leads was fine. Zoe is fine, and lovely to look at. But the story line not so much. It ultimately didn't add up to much, imo. The late scene of them riding together was sweet and worked for me. But the overt use of 'that word' and another disdainful term just shows again how innocuous they are for a great many people, and I find it distracting, taking me out of the movie. 2 stars See more Aug 28, 2016 "Gimme the Loot" may be a bit rough around the edges, but this one's a real gem. See more Oct 8, 2015 POORLY written script. Starts off solid, but then just seems so random and "street" talk so forced and BS, especially the female actress. Also I call BS on "representing" one of the pillars of hip hop, graffiti. BS actors representing something they don't understand or comprehend without living the life so they're performance of it reeks of FAKENESS like most Hollywood movies attempting to portray subcultures.

See more May 3, 2015 What makes this movie work - it could have put "based on a true story" and everyone would believe it. The acting, writing, even the camera work flaws add to a sense of realism other similar films try desperately to achieve. See more Oct 19, 2014 Getting a window into a life i am completely unfamiliar with was one of the best parts of this very well crafted film. A hard luck day in the life story of two New York taggers who you spend equal time rooting and feeling bad for. Lots of unique characters from the bizarre to the unlikable populate this world. You realize half of the way though that the goal is not important its all about the journey though this tough but always interesting life. See more Read all reviews
