Donielle T. Hansley Jr. in Charm City Kings (2020)

In this gritty coming-of-age drama, fourteen-year-old Mouse (Jahi Di'Allo Winston) desperately wants to join the Midnight Clique, an infamous group of Baltimore dirt-bike riders who rule the summertime streets. His older brother, Stro, was their top rider before his tragic death--a loss that consumes Mouse as much as his passion for bikes. Mouse's mom (Teyonah Parris) and his police mentor, Detective Rivers (William Catlett), work overtime to help the charismatic teen reach his full potential, but when the Midnight Clique's leader, Blax (Meek Mill), takes the boy under his wing, the lure of revving his own dirt bike skids Mouse toward a road way past the straight and narrow.

A fun ride that captures the essence of Baltimore

Not a great film, but a good film. It has some really good ideas and a strong message that will speak to anyone who has grown up in the inner city.

I wish there had been more dirt bike driving and stunts, there is a very good scene that shows off some great action but because it is earlier on the movie slows down after that scene. If it had kept the pace of the action scene this film would of been the best action film of the year.

I Felt Like I Was Watching A Weekly Crime Show

Great cast; (Meek Mill is a Natural). Ideal concept with flawed Directing & average cinematography with Only 1 maybe 2 characters enunciating a Baltimore accent. Really disappointed that Will & Jada Smith(Executive Producers) life long experience in front and behind the camera just totally abandoned the direction and editing of this movie.

Not enough

There is very little one can find enjoyable in this film. It misses the mark in most cases, it's passable but very cliché ridden screenplay. Utterly stupid choices made by the characters throughout the movie just underscore the flaws in the screenplay. Cinematography etc is decent but it's just very empty and totally forgettable.

No need to watch this really.

Just a guy who likes movies.

Good movie. The acting of the main character is really great. Its not really a movie about Baltimore bike culture. Its more of a movie a teenager figuring his place in the world. If you like drama character driven films you will like this.

Good story

The story is good, but takes too long to build up.
