A Dangerous Prey

This was an interesting film led by great acting performances from the entire cast. The main actress did a spectacular job bringing the character, Kesha, to life and making her believable. There were moments where her character took unexpected turns, but her performance combined with strongly written dialogue helped things make sense. I found myself caring about Kesha and Aiden's journey, which kept me engaged the entire film. I was also curious how all the characters and circumstances would end up tying together. I was left with a few questions, but appreciated the ride. Overall this was a well shot, well done independent film.

Starring TaJa Brittaney and Marlon Ladd the movie weaves a story into the harsh realities of survival amidst urban gentrification and racial tensions. The story follows Keisha and Aiden, a couple dealing with racism in their new community after fleeing urban gentrification. The film resonates with the struggles individuals face in unfamiliar territories, with Keisha's journey from prey to a formidable force against racists providing a gripping focal point. TaJa Brittaney's performance as Keisha showcases her inner strength in the face of adversity. Marlon Ladd adds depth with his portrayal of Aiden. The chemistry between the two leads make the characters relatable and engaging. I really enjoyed this movie.

A Dangerous Prey explores themes of discrimination and human determination, throwing light on the challenges posed by racial tensions, crime and urban gentrification. While the movie excels in many aspects, the subplot involving the character Al feels a little under explored. Despite a few flaws it offers ample material for discussion. It's distinctive style leaves a lasting impression, sparking dialogue about the challenges individuals face in changing societies. This movie's courage to tackle important issues and its thought-provoking portrayal of urban gentrification, racism, and survival make it noteworthy. It pushes social boundaries in ways most filmmakers would run from.

Making any feature film is extraordinarily difficult; there are a myriad of challenges one faces. This movie features a number of characters and diverse locations, and focuses on the plight of a young black couple striving to secure the American dream. There are secrets, and dark corners of society. Story is primarily told through the eyes of Keisha (played by TaJa Brittaney). Ultimately, the couple must find strength in themselves to triumph. Technical marks were fair, I would've preferred stronger shot compositions and fuller sound design. But the transformation of a young mother-to-be into a vigilante is worth watching.

I liked this movie. I loved the wife and her aggressiveness to make things better. I like the chemistry between her and the husband. Realistic view of how a wife snaps on a husband in one breadth when she doesn't like the situation. I can relate, ha ha. Married couples can relate. The two white guys were good comic relief. I like how the wife toughens up towards the end and (I don't want to put out any spoilers). You will have to watch the movie yourself. I just need the ending explained to me. How did she get to that point. Give it a watch for yourself and see. Looks like there may be a sequel.
