Ok hoopz kid is a terrible actress already i think they had a screen for her to read her lines off of ..hoopz struggles at times but i see promise ..she was getting more comfortable as the movie went on. Not the best effort however i am intrigued to find out what happens in the sequel. Hate the cliffhanger leave off but it's all good. Actually 1 star but i saw hoopz shower scene and about to make love scene so i threw in two more stars.

The plot was authentic. The characters were real and relatable. The suspense will keep you on the edge of your seat. Can't wait for part 2.

I'm very, very easy to please when it comes to movies. I've seen tons of movies, and I usually like all of them. People rated it 3.8? I enjoy it usually. It takes a rare kind of movie for me not to like it.

This is it. Don't believe the other reviewers. If you've watched more then 15 movies in your lifetime, this movie will bother you. The storyline is fine, but the acting is the worst I've ever seen in a movie not made by high school kids. There's a little girl in this movie that literally just reads the script, the lead actress is terrible, and most of the side characters actors are pretty bad too.

The sound quality is the worst I've ever heard. As the scenes roll you can hear the differences in wind/traffic/noise between the different angles shot within the same scene. The music isn't en enough of the movie and dies out in certain parts. There's canned voices for certain scenes, which could've easily been fixed in editing.

This movie watches like it was shot in one day, and with only one take for every scene. It's honestly the worst movie I've ever watched and I've seen a good 2,000 movies. I'm very easy to please and man this one sucked bad.

Honestly this is a really badly shot movie, and the storyline does not save it. It's just bad.

The acting in this is AWFUL. Let me list a handful of the things that got on my last nerve.

-From the first scene on. The moment it started I was annoyed with Jim smacking his gum. Who chews their gum like a cow chewing cud in a movie scene. He's not even the only one that does it. There's multiple ppl.

-Then the audio was horrible. There are scenes that look like they shot it and forgot to turn the audio on so they had to add voice over for that 10 min scene.

-One scene Hoopz opens the screen and front door on a house. It was so obv the sound of the door was edited in it was ridiculous. It was like the sounds they use on a haunted house. The screeching door sound.

-The dude Patrick she goes on a date with, him trying to act all smooth is hard to watch. It doesn't look natural, at all.

-The closed captioning on this movie says *ngger isn't stead of *ngga. How do u not catch that?

I will say the longer the movie goes on the better job Hoopz does. Like she's getting more comfortable. But she def needs some more acting classes to not seem so stiff and like she's acting.

By far this was the worst acting I have ever seen in a movie! Anybody rating this above a 1, lacks grey matter!

I hate having to drop a bad review on someone's independent effort, but this movie is terrible. I give it one star, pretty much for the lighting and settings.

As to the film's shortcomings...the whole thing screens like a bad reality TV show. Which isn't a big surprise, as the main actor (Nicole Alexander) is apparently from a reality TV show. You can tell she is trying to act, but she doesn't have the range, emotion, or experience to pull off any scenes.

The camera moves like a drunk man in some scenes, but is rock steady in others. In a couple of switch scenes, one scene is steady and the other cam bobs around. Who thought that was fun to watch?

Every line of dialog is stilted and forced, and most of the time is poorly acted. The lines are really, really bad at times. The child actor's lines are so awful as to be laughable.

Some supporting cast members are decent enough actors for a no-budget film, but the abysmal dialog spoils any chance of success in the role. Characters are all cardboard cut-outs of stereotypical tropes.

There's no point in discussing the screenplay or plot problems. It's as if you forced a teenager to watch a week of reality-TV and urban crime drama shows and then asked them to write a movie.

If you are a big fan of Ms. Alexander or whatever TV show she was in, you might find this film interesting. Other than that, skip it. Really awful.

Good film. The twist was crazy in the end . Hoopz did a good job. Just wish jim Jones has a longer role

I enjoyed this movie! Call me crazy or whatever but I vibed with the Nicole as Maria...she held it down! Not to many movies where a smart minded woman runs the show with intelligence, beauty, and balls atop being a mother. If you haven't written Pt 2 and need help, please call me! Lol

I love the suspense in this movie. It kept you on your toes. I can't believe some things happen so fast in the movie. I wanted to see more of him. I can't wait for part II. Good job to the producer.

I thought it was a good movie. One part of the movie I thought was cheesy and could have had better writing but overall I was entertained.

What a cinematic piece of crap. Shallow, predictable, black stereotypes, even down to the chicken dinners.

Avoid at all costs.

This is another example of the dumbing down of America.

I previously rated this movie a 8 because I didn't know that part two had already come out. Now, I'm changing it to a 10. This movie might seem low budgeted but it is worth watching. It's entertaining and suspenseful

Man I thought I was about to watch an average B movie with bad scripting and audio. But boy was I not ready for this awesome Suspense/Street Life behind hidden identities out in the open. Hoopz my crush since Flavor of Love and even during her own tv show. My excitement is still on 10 and I did'nt even know this movie existed, hats off to the producer,writer,actors and all involved. You hzve earned my Hoodpass for underated movies. A+. When is pt.2 coming out.

Very good movie...didnt care for the ending but waiting patiently for part 2 ❤

Captivating indie drama with a good story line. Highly recommended!

Great independent film! Love the feel of the movie. The main character is is beautiful both inside & out. Highly recommend!

A very good quality film with a good story. U must watch it for yourself.

I was really into this movie and am already waiting for the sequel!! There is action, suspense, plot twists, and stellar performances! I had no idea what was going to happen but did not expect the twists within this story, which is always a sign of a good story! Don't listen to the haters, this movie is SOLID. I can't wait for the next one and I hope Dennis Reed and his team are well into making the follow up to this because I'm ready!! Recommend!

A really impressive Indie thriller, gripping story with some unexpected twists, the writing and directing were really well handled and the cast give a great performances all-round. Really worth checking out for a low budget independent production.

I saw First Lady on a list of some of the most popular new films on Amazon Prime so I decided to check it out. This is an intense indie action/drama that hooks you in immediately. The main character Maria's man gets killed and everyone is trying to move in on his business and Maria herself, and all hell breaks loose. I can tell by the charts that I saw that this movie is really popular and I can see why. It's a low budget film but really impressive. Give it a watch!

I love these movies i can't wait for part 3, ppl don't know a good hood movie when they see one
