The Violent Heart

I thought this was really good. It wasn't cheesy, the acting was convincing. It had an incredibly harrowing storyline and an unexpected ending. I thought it had everything a good movie needs. Definitely didn't feel I'd wasted my time watching it, at all.

This was an incredible story that grabs you from the first several minutes to the very end! As soon as I began watching, the movie, it captured my attention all the way to the end. The actors took you on a journey and you really didn't know where you were going to end ups. The ending was surprising, but not totally a shocker. I did expect a different ending. By all accounts, the acting was great, and Mary J Blige as the matriarch of the family was very convincing, although her part was very small. I highly recommend this movie without hesitation. It is worth the 1 hour and 45 minutes. Get your popcorn ready!

I would watch it again. My wife she didn't think one part was believable, so she was indifferent.

It's one of those bleak, slingblade type settings, which could be too dreary for some viewers. I on the otherhand, love those type of backdrop drama/suspense movies. It's dark, but has some bright spots between the brothers, and love interests.

The darkness tends affect the pace at times, which is a slight downer. It could have been a little more suspense.

The direction was great. Writing was great. The leads did their parts. I guess one part could have been a tad more believable, but all in all it didn't bother me.

Pleasant movie, with a mostly black cast which is pretty awesome. I highly recommend.

This was a very good story. A story behind a young boy who witnessed his sister get murdered by someone he doesn't know who. Fast forward fifteen years later and he's all grown up, falls a girl and finally learns who the killer is and the twist is devastating. An excellent story with a well rounded cast. No spoilers but the ending pissed me off. I so wanted it to end differently....enjoy..

I don't understand how this movie has so many low ratings. The acting was great, the story compelling and the ending was a twist. It's not a 10/10 but 8/10 ain't bad either. Do yourself a favour and watch this film.
