Beggarman

Amazing movie that captured my attention throughout the entire film. I absolutely loved it! All of the actors were fantastic and the storyline kept me glued to the screen. I had fun watching this with my family and everyone enjoyed it! It didn't feel like we were watching a movie, it felt like we were there and part of the experience. It is a unique story and didn't feel like anything I had seen before. Lenny Thomas did an incredible job in his role as Beggarman and I highly recommend this movie to everyone. Whether you like action, suspense, or love, there is something for everyone in this powerful story.

I didn't know what to expect when I saw the screening at the Garden State Film Festival, but was captivated by the story, cinematography, acting, and production quality. The grit and development of the main character really came through and captured the imagination the entire film. I was emotionally captured as one could imagine the difficulty of a veteran dealing with the realities of finding a money filled time capsule and the impact of the real world. Trying to convince people to help you while also dealing with the very real scenario that these same people would harm you for their own benefit given the opportunity, while implausible, resonated and made for a great plot line. Needing to use the cash in the luggage to help improve one's life after so much trauma was heart wrenching and the outcome kept me gripped to my seat. If the goal of cinema is to explore the characters to drive an emotional outcome and lose oneself in the art, this movie overachieved. Great work by all involved and looking forward to more from this team.

Got to see the movie at the 2025 Garden State Film Festival. This movie was far and away the best one there. Truly enjoyed the acting, the writing and the overall feel from the movie. The locations were great, and gave a real New York City feel to the movie, gritty. Sometimes when movies go for a gritty feel, they also come across as amateurish, but this movie felt polished.

Also thought the performance from Lenny Thomas was excellent. He comes across as an actor that you will be seeing more from down the road.

Overall highly recommend checking out Beggarman. Definitely worth a watch and hopefully there will be more places where people can see the film.

Beggarman was so refreshingly great to watch! The style, tone, and storyline were immensely compelling. I watched this movie at a film festival and could not take my eyes off the screen for a second. It had me (and the rest of the audience) on our toes the entire time. You know a movie is great when people in the crowd can't help but react out loud-gasping, laughing, fully immersed. Lol! Lenny Thomas brought such depth and vulnerability to his role. Not to mention, the entire cast, writer, and director are so talented. I honestly can't wait for it to drop on streaming so I can watch it all over again and share it with friends!

Frankie Montero and the Old York Pictures team smashed this movie! I was lucky enough to catch the premiere during the Garden State Film Festival and was completely blown away.

If I had to describe it, I'd say it's like Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino collaborated on a film - and the result was "Beggarman."

It's a nail-biter, it's funny, it's sad, and it's real.

All the actors in the film were fantastic - from the leads all the way to the supporting cast and extras.

I truly enjoyed this film and highly recommend it. Can't wait to watch it again - I've been telling everyone about it!!!
