2.5/5

The Land isn't a perfect film, but it is a hell of a good start, and director Caple Jr. -- and his young cast -- are artists to keep an eye on, for sure.

It also helps that the supporting players are, to a one, incredible.

B+

The four young leads do phenomenal work, the characters and setting are fleshed out and authentic, and the supporting players are top notch (including an unexpectedly chilling villain).

It's ambitious to be sure, but not beyond Caple Jr's grasp and surely the start of a great career to come.

What could have been just another one of those typical, coming of age dramas can now be considered one of the summer's most influential films from one talented up and coming director, Steven Caple Jr.

One of THE most boring typical ghetto flicks ever. I was hoping they skateboard clowns would all get whacked. More realistic in that manner. Don't waste your time.

It's nothing especially fresh - but it's a solid story of 4 inner city boys that are wanting to make it in the skateboarding world. When small crimes open doors for larger ones with more $, they get in over their heads.

The Land is a great debut by Steven Caple Jr. Thanks to a cast with great chemistry, led by Jorge Lendeborg, the character driven story thrives - even if there isn’t anything “new” to this type of narrative.

Between a 6/10 and 7/10, Caple has a unique eye and a strong sense of place. Here's hoping that next time he applies them to a fresher story.
