Bosco

OK so what does a movie need to really slap?

1. An all start ensemble cast (check) 2. A well written script that brings the prison cell and following escape, backstory to life (check) 3. A story that, is compelling, and in this case TRUE TO LIFE! (check) 4. Artistic style and direction (check check)

BOSCO is a quadruple threat. Checking all of the boxes. What a fantastic debut for budding talent, the writer and director Nicholas Manuel Pino. The story of BOSCO, the man himself, is insane. Escaping max security prison? The only person to do it in 2006. Watch this film!

I am very much looking forward to Nicholas' next film!!!

BOSCO was one of those movies that surprise you. You go in thinking one thing, and leave with a whole new perspective on things. Who knew one jail cell could keep me engaged for so long. It's one of those films where, you know he gets out because it's based on a true story, but how it all comes together, that's what matters. The journey each character goes through during 90 mins is insane!! The kind of movie that moves you and those around you. This movie flew by. What a cast, the acting was superb. And i read somewhere this is the directors first film?! Well that guy has a bright future I'll tell you that much. Do yourself a favor and check this one out on Peacock (if you have it lol). It has a lot to say, in a condensed format that doesn't get boring. Enjoy the flick!!!!

Was the most captivating film I've seen in years. Aubrey Joseph did an amazing job at portraying BOSCO. Movie was absolutely 10/10

Not often does a movie hold my attention for an hour or 90 minutes, this one did! It was both stunning and eye opening. How have we let our penal system get to this point? BOSCO is a low key genius too, how did he manage that on his own?

It leaves you wondering how many more BOSCOs there are out there who haven't escaped. It's sad, but I'm glad we're using cinema to open the eyes of the masses. One way to people's hearts and mind, has always been through beautiful cinema, and BOSCO fits the bill.

It's pretty good generally not into prison stories much but this is definitely well made and can be hard to watch at times in a good way if that makes sense. Fits Thomas Jane, Theo Rossi and the main lead quite well; I'm surprised this isn't higher rated than 5.7 it seems a lot enjoyed Bosco I would say it deserve better! I can't imagine what it'd be like to be incarcerated seems genuinely awful to experience the absolute dread in such an isolated place. I really like how the movie gets better as it goes on it is a great thrill ride of an exclusive movie on peacock I hope the ratings increase it so well filmed!

A friend recommended this to me because he knows i'm a fan of prison movies but wasn't expecting this. Thought by the poster might be more like a low budget action movie. I was wrong. It definitely is a lower budget under 10 million dollar movie, but caught myself fully bought in to the struggle of the main character, Bosco and the supporting characters. There were no big prison brawls although one cool fight scene that again, wasn't what I expected. The performances are great. I wish I had some more time with some of them, but the time I did have flew by. Was great seeing Vivica Fox in a strong role again. I wish there was more time with Bosco when he got out but I guess the writers had to stick with the true events of what actually happened. I loved the style of the ending scenes with the narrator over the music and all the cutting back and forth. The style overall was pretty damn cool. For all the maybe too quick paced storytelling, I still felt satisfied and like I was immersed in a world that led to some interesting questions.
