Intimate self-portrait of a former criminal on the path of redemption
Darius Clarke Monroe tells his life-story in his self-directed documentary 'Evolution of a criminal'.
It deals with mostly his choice as a teenager to alongside his friends to rob a bank, how it affected him personally, his 2 friends who were there with him, his family and even some of his victims.
It's a honest movie and it's well-made in pretty much all aspects, the atmospheric music is close to perfect for the scenes they are in and it has some truly emotional scenes, especially towards the end.
There is a segment which Darrius sets out to interview his victims which might be a bit problematic as they are probably gonna struggle opening up to him.
Heck it would be hard enough to open up as a man to any random man about a traumatic event let alone someone who was the cause of it but it works okay for the morepart, and I suppose it was more about him saying he's sorry than anything else.
All in all a solid documentary well worth seeing.
