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 Gripping Look at Baltimore's Bike Culture

    A glance inside the world of dirt bike riders and the sense of community they offer, Charm City Kings delves deep into Baltimore. Mouse, who is fourteen years old and desperate for approval, decides to join the notorious Midnight Clique. The film skillfully captures the excitement and peril that exist in their environment, highlighting both the companionship and the difficult realities of living on the periphery.

    The youthful group of actors brings vitality to their roles, especially in Jahi Di'Allo Winston's portrayal of Mouse. His tenacity and fragility strike a deep chord, encapsulating the difficulties of puberty in the face of adversity. With its colorful streets and portrayal of the challenges its citizens endure, the movie masterfully captures the essence of Baltimore. The story gains depth and texture from this authenticity, which also makes it seem realistic and approachable. The facts of the protagonists' life are not sugarcoated in Charm City Kings. It explores the moral nuances of their decisions and invites contemplation on the structures and situations that influence them.

    Even if the movie's setting and ideas are original, some of the plot's echoes of components seen in coming-of-age movies may seem familiar. The movie deals with serious subjects and doesn't hold back when presenting the terrible truths of the characters' lives. This could be too emotionally taxing for certain viewers.

    Great Story

    Not everyone is about that life just cause they come from poverty and there brother was from somewhere some people have hidden talents that need to be out there and some find themselves down the wrong path and this movie show's that and what Meek Mill did at the end was something a real mann would do for a kid who isn't and would not survive and would never become his true passion and felt guilty about what happen and felt he atleast owed his friend that. Great Hood movie not everyone who adapts to their environment aspires to be a cold menace that the streets made them and some do escape. What was shown here wasnt hollywood it's real life. Some people have mentors in their lifes and some dont

    Better Than Expected

    The trailer doesn't do the movie justice. It's actually really good. At times I definitely felt "old" since I'm 28 and these kids are middle schoolers, but it's still worth watching. The movie ended up having typical hood movie lessons, but it was actually portrayed by kids, which made it more heartbreaking. It reminded me of Stand by Me, A Bronx Tale, and The Goonies, so if you like those films I would recommend this one.
