This indie gem is a story about redemption where an ex con Tremaine is trying to get his life back on track. He's got a girl who is terminally ill and one who is mixed up with the wrong crowd, trying to hold on to dear life. Out protagonist is trying to go straight however the underworld is constantly trying to pull him back in.

The pacing of the movie is slow so our characters are allowed to unravel into a modern day tragic story with dire consequences. The cinematography and the locations were particularly good and the violent scenes were cleverly shot.

"Un-Resolved" is a poignant tale that delves deep into redemption, the relentless grip of the past, and the unyielding cycle of violence. Directed and written by Bruce Carlton Cunningham JR, this film unfolds with raw authenticity and emotional depth.

"Un-Resolved" is more than just a film-it's a poignant reflection on the human spirit's capacity for redemption, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.

I thoroughly enjoyed this film, I felt it was really well put together with a fantastic cast, great score and strong direction. It is such an achievement that Bruce Carlton Cunningham, wrote, directed, and played the lead role as doing even one of those roles is incredibly challenging. The story had some great tension and twists to it and overall was a solidly developed redemption arc. While a bit of a slow burn at times (I do think it could have been tightened up in some spots), it never feels like it drags. I definitely recommend this film if you are looking for a unique take on the crime genre.

Bruce Carlton Cunningham wrote and directed this excellent entry into the crime family saga movie genre. Cunningham portrays the lead character of Tremaine Willis with patience and heart. Supporting him are Morgan Pierce playing his older daughter Carlissa, and Cetris Ivy Sr as his brother. This is a violent family drama about feuding gangs in the streets of St. Louis, MO. The crime lord is portrayed by a woman, which I appreciated. A raw, gritty depiction of criminal life that delivers the goods. The lead character tries his best to mend his own past and stay out of the fighting, but bad choices on the part of his older daughter Carlissa pull him in. Excellent music and cinematography. Fighting and gunplay was suspenseful. This filmmaker really cared abut his message and he had something to say.

It's a raw and realistic story on what happens in US cities. This story took part in the city of St. Louis. The characters were well developed, it's a character driven film. It's a story where the main character is searching for redemption. There are some intense scene in the film so be mindful of that. There are also lots of well developed plot twists. The film's exploration of forgiveness and reconciliation is both profound and thought-provoking, challenging audiences to reflect on their own capacity for compassion and understanding. If you like stories about redemption show in a raw way then you'll enjoy this film.
