Canal Street

This is being written to counter all the 10/10 review written by the friends and relatives of the above-the-line crew. This is an abysmal film built around a decent premise, that wastes the talents of pretty much every actor involved. The constant switching to talk shows discussing the crime is full of self-importance, the "twist" is annoying, and the trial is just pure, hot garbage. Honestly, without some of the actors' efforts (not the lead, though... he was terrible), this would have rated zero stars. And for those of you praising the lack of profanity... Yes, isn't that just terrific? So clean and wholesome... Oh, except for the genuine footage of a young black man being shot through the head at close range. Yeah... So good that this was free from profanity. Dull AND disgusting.

Low budget and very bad acting. They used 7production compagnies. Executive producers they used 21in total. No wonder the acting in this movie is so bad, they had no money left for real actors.

Had potential... But the acting and direction often seemed forced and clunky. Had some well known film and TV stars, however they were bound and gagged by the script. Sorry but it's a fail for me

Canal street does a superb job at not only incorporating and blending all races, but revealing how beautiful we could all be together if only we were willing to get uncomfortable.

Excellent film! A must watch for all of us.

I do not understand where the low ratings came from unless they watched a different movie??? The story is true of what happens in every city in the world if you are in the wrong place at the wrong time! Please just watch the movie and ignore ALL comments! Then rate for yourself.
