Fruitvale Station


IMDB
First time viewed: Yes
Current Release: Yes

Well I didn't know the story of this one but they set it up pretty clearly at the beginning as to where it's all heading. And once we know that there's not much else to the story. Even at a brief 85 minutes it still feels drawn out. Much like in Chronicle, Michael B. Jordan's natural charisma is used to maximum effectiveness but, like with many Weinstein Company releases the audience manipulation is so blatant it threatens to overthrow the suspension of disbelief. 

Some nice gritty 16mm photography.
