Foster Boy

This Film really picks up steam as the Story of Corruption and Greed unfolds. Excellent work by Matthew Modine as Michael Trainer a High Powered Corporate Attorney forced to take a Pro Bono Case by Judge Taylor (Louis Gossett Jr) equally excellent ! Jamal Randolph (Shane Paul McGhie) the young man suing the Foster Care Corporation is Stubborn as Heck and initially he and Trainer don't see eye to eye, but as their relationship grows and the Investigation of the Facts reveals the shocking Truths, they become a team. The Courtroom scenes are Cat and Mouse and Big Part of the Movie, as the Corporate Lawyers are fairly convincing as well. The Soundtrack is Outstanding, be sure and watch credits til end. Shout out to SHAQ for Producing Film and Helping the Foster Care System. Thug and Three Piece Rap

This movie has everything which defines a sleeper HIT. Content is strong. But story is true. The truth is raw and undeniable. Thank you Shaq for using your platform to present this story

This movie was very enlightening. I wasn't at all surpised that this kind of stuff happens, but its good to let the world see how trashy a supposed care system for children can be. This is based on something that actually happened. Granted, I am sure not all foster care businesses are this shady, but you know there are definitely so many businesses of all shapes and sized that are comprised of soulless individuals who hold the almighty dollar way above human lives. Its especially bad to choose profit over the well being of a child. The movie was fantastic and I hope that maybe this movie will motivate the appropriate types of authorities to monitor foster care systems and make sure that no kid has to suffer and become scarred and traumatized all because someone wants to make another buck.

The premise of this film is the sick side of the foster industry, which got my blood boiling; personally it could of used more of that context, painting us a more gruesome picture of that reality.. but I don't think I will chip away at the rating for the director's discrepancies. Overall it's very uplifting and makes you want to join the fight - I know I have!

My wife and I have watched a lot of movies, and noticed a trend: newer movies often don't portray known actors. So we rate movies in three categories (to allow horrible B- glitches): story, acting, dialogue (flow). This movie scored 9+ in all three. Sure, in this case the story is (hopefully) predictable, but it's a true one, which makes it all that much more pertinent (relevant). It's a good movie. The first for which I'm writing a review (yeah, I've watched better, but nothing better in all three boxes, atI least recently), and the first I'd offer to to friend on a USB stick (um, thank you?)... It's a good movie, through and through.
