Featured reviews
We are a family of mixed race. We thank you for making this digital movie. After viewing the film we spoke with our 3 children about race relations. They don't understand. It scares my family that our children will have to deal with racism as they grow. Really good movie.
This film was hard to watch because of how real some of the wording is. The actors really are pretty great in this film. It started a little slow but after it started to pick up speed it never stopped. The ending was not at all what I was expecting. Nice work to those who were involved in shooting this image.
A full range of emotions was felt when watching this film, from anger and sadness to frustration. The ensemble work was fantastic, but I was especially drawn to the amazing performances of Trey's parents, who were dealing with the unjust murder of their son. As a parent myself, it was so difficult to watch the story play out for all families involved. Great act find, direction and musical score added to a solid film. A strong example of Canadian filmmaking.
For lack of a better way to express it, this film is like driving a long in a car and everything seems to be normal and then suddenly your auto spins out and ends up upsidedown. This film goes places you really don't expect. It was uncomfortable at times to listen to some of the dialogue. But it really has me gripped though out. It's not your usual film.
Torn - Dark Bullets begins with a police detective who catches a call that forces him into a dangerous encounter with a black teen.
Sam Vincent, as Detective Pearce, puts on a fantastic performance, and it's hard to stop watching him as his charisma and tortured soul fills the screen. So much so, other actors have a hard time keeping up. This movie is not a comfortable ride as we the audience experience the consequences of racism and police actions, but it's a necessary ride nonetheless.
