Paradise City

I saw a film done by this director named 'The Hudson Tribes' and it was incredible. Started to follow the director ever since. I guess this was his most recent feature? Watched and once again it did not disappoint. It reminded me of '300', a film noir style meets contemporary NYC with the fear of terror (islamophobia) running rampant. The director does not hold anything back and knows no limits. For such tight coverage throughout the film, it captures every character and setting in a grand way. From his characters to the plot, I don't think there is a better cinematic creative right now then John Marco Lopez showing socio-political conflict within society today. Highly recommend.

I was blown away by the dialogue and the depth of the characters created in this film. And the acting was stellar. Love it!

Amazing movie!! Cast was fabulous and newcomer Laura Kamin, outstanding! I highly recommend this film.

As a nyc native, it was pretty cool to see the themes in this movie played out, and the locations that were selected seemed to be researched and picked carefully for those themes. The camera shots and lighting were also a joy, gave the movie a really cool and suspenseful vibe.

GREAT MOVIE!! Well done all around. Very SOLID visual storytelling here. The music and score are TOP NOTCH. I look forward to seeing more work from this up and coming director.
