A Shot Through the Wall

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.

I've seen this movie a few times through different film festivals, and every single time, I'm amazed by the performance, the quality of the production and the writing on this story! It's a timely topic, but a sensitive, delicate and complex one. And they do an excellent job telling all of the layers through the characters. I can't wait for more people to watch it, and feel the impact it had on me and many who saw it at the screening as well. Well done!!!

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.

"A Shot Through the Wall" was not an easy film to watch by any means, going through the painful agony and remorses of a man. How the relationships with your significant others can seem so fragile when you are in your darkest days...

However, the depth and the amazing portrayal of character in addition to the screenplay was so captivating, it was clearly one of the best films I've seen this year.

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!
