Bosco

Well-made in a simple way, it has an engaging storyline, well-acted, sort of slow-paced not in a bad way, lots of suspension of disbelief, showing well enough in a tight frame a disproportionate system and "prejudices" that go with it.

The biographical story is saddening, but one cannot do anything about it cause there's a system in place and lonely souls get crushed in that world or are left with scars forever.

This is 2024 green mile! The acting is so amazing! You will feel the emotions through the camera. Do not miss out this is a must watch. It's an eye opener that will inspire others to never give up! A young man as told he wouldn't and so he did! The story of Bosco has not only inspired many through the film his story and life has inspired many here in Los Angeles! If any movie is worth streaming it is this heartfelt inspiring movie that t aches us to never give up and always believe in ourselves and dreams! Now that Bosco is out on peacock it's time it becomes the number one streamed movie! Thanks.

BOSCO was one of those movies that surprise you. You go in thinking one thing, and leave with a whole new perspective on things. Who knew one jail cell could keep me engaged for so long. It's one of those films where, you know he gets out because it's based on a true story, but how it all comes together, that's what matters. The journey each character goes through during 90 mins is insane!! The kind of movie that moves you and those around you. This movie flew by. What a cast, the acting was superb. And i read somewhere this is the directors first film?! Well that guy has a bright future I'll tell you that much. Do yourself a favor and check this one out on Peacock (if you have it lol). It has a lot to say, in a condensed format that doesn't get boring. Enjoy the flick!!!!

A friend recommended this to me because he knows i'm a fan of prison movies but wasn't expecting this. Thought by the poster might be more like a low budget action movie. I was wrong. It definitely is a lower budget under 10 million dollar movie, but caught myself fully bought in to the struggle of the main character, Bosco and the supporting characters. There were no big prison brawls although one cool fight scene that again, wasn't what I expected. The performances are great. I wish I had some more time with some of them, but the time I did have flew by. Was great seeing Vivica Fox in a strong role again. I wish there was more time with Bosco when he got out but I guess the writers had to stick with the true events of what actually happened. I loved the style of the ending scenes with the narrator over the music and all the cutting back and forth. The style overall was pretty damn cool. For all the maybe too quick paced storytelling, I still felt satisfied and like I was immersed in a world that led to some interesting questions.

OK so what does a movie need to really slap?

1. An all start ensemble cast (check) 2. A well written script that brings the prison cell and following escape, backstory to life (check) 3. A story that, is compelling, and in this case TRUE TO LIFE! (check) 4. Artistic style and direction (check check)

BOSCO is a quadruple threat. Checking all of the boxes. What a fantastic debut for budding talent, the writer and director Nicholas Manuel Pino. The story of BOSCO, the man himself, is insane. Escaping max security prison? The only person to do it in 2006. Watch this film!

I am very much looking forward to Nicholas' next film!!!
