A Shot Through the Wall

Went deep into the difference between poor choice and a mistake. Overall great watch and great acting. As others have said the movie would've been great if it went over the victims humanity(it did partially). Regardless I feel like the movie did great job as it doesn't matter knowing the victims life or who he is as a person. The movie shows the viewer the different pov of the case. Great watch!

Sorry but this story is simply not credible. Not worth renting. At every opportunity to avoid doing something stupid most of the characters miss that opportunity!

It was really uncomfortable watching this film, the type of discomfort that is so needed for growth. It made me uncomfortable because it invited me to confront the issues that were addressed in this film. This film brought up so much conversation and important discussion among my peers. Issues of defunding the police to dismantling the whole system all together to addressing the racial tension within the film, and so much more. I looooove that we are still talking about this film!! Because it proves how important movies like "A Shot Through the Wall" needs to be produced.

There was so much thoughtfulness that was depicted in the film to the point someone had mentioned how the director doesn't point the finger at anyone. I love how she showcases the events that happens, to keep it simple I'd say this film illustrates the causes and effect of a system that may no longer be working for the best interest of the people.

Most of all, it was so incredibly awesome to see an Asian American lead, the character played by Kenny Leu, I felt for him, for his family and the other characters that were involved in the story. It was heart-wrenching and raw.

A must see if you enjoy the type of movies that will make you constructively consider the way the world works after the film is over.

I had not heard anything about the movie before I watched, and the storyline overview didn't really provide enough information to determine the movie's direction. I figured this was either going to be a propaganda piece, supporting the blue or BLM. Thankfully it was neither.

The movie provided a realistic snapshot in time of our culture. The justice system should be free from public influence and 'A Shot Through the Wall' painted that photo perfectly.

The acting was genuine and believable from the main characters all the way to the extras. It did an outstanding job showing the culture of the protagonist and his family, highlighting the differences between generations. It effectively touched on the minority perception of police enforcement without being judgmental. It touches on the different perceptions of gun ownership without choosing sides.

I would have given the movie 9 or 10 stars, but it failed to humanize the victim and his family, even with a nod towards them in the end. It could have delved into the lives of the victim's family a bit deeper. I think that's a big miss that separates this from being a REALLY good movie to one that's deserving consideration of an Oscar.

I hope this convinces you to watch. It'll be an excellent use of your next 90 minutes.

A shot through the wall film can be said as somewhat a good film. It has a powerful message and done with good intentions. I like this because it made me realise some decision that I have made a few months ago. So, I'd say this film somehow helped me realise a lot of things.

Racist is the worst thing in the world. There are bad people in every race. Just because you found one bad person or people in a race, not all people in that race is bad person/people. Every race got bad people. The things that one person/people done don't represent the other people's doing. So, don't put their (bad people's) blame on other people. We all need to remember that and stop being racist. This film shows this fact clearly. This is another reason why I like this film.

Anyway, back to the film, although I said it's a good film, still, I don't get some things like why Candace angry with Michael after he gave the photo of them two to the media when she was ready to go on TV together with Michael. And some facts made me not like Candace character. But in films, there are always something we don't get, so, I think it's okay to have a thing or two.

Hence, basically, although it's good to enjoy, but it's a little bit cold and too dramatic. As a girl who doesn't like dramas, well, I'd say it's just a fine film. It's enjoyable for first time watch only.
