3/4
Even if it fails to satisfy in its final act, it’s still a grabber and is stuffed with strong performances and, of course, lit music. Go to Full Review

Splash City is raw, imperfect, and authentic in ways that matter. Reed Shannon proves he is not afraid to step in as the number one on the call sheet. Go to Full Review

Andrea Chase Killer Movie Reviews 6d
3/5
If SMASH CITY starts with a series of hoary tropes that echo dully the arc of many a film of this genre that have come before, by the end it has pulled itself together enough to deliver a climax with genuine uncertainty fueling that action. Go to Full Review

Travis Johnson 4d Ain’t nothing like this See more Kenny G 6d Shoutout Berner! A new hood classic! With that Bay Area. Touch🔥. Performances were great! See more J R @YCNavi530 4h Splash city Is a gritty movie with great writing the reels you in from the start and makes you feel as if you are part of the story. Great visuals and shots of the Bay Area with great music to accompany the film. Highly recommend watching this movie. Great job and congratulations to 4 Ways Ent! Keep up the great work! See more Jorge C @filmbuff707 5h A powerful and authentic look into Northern California street culture, crime, and the difficult choices people are forced to make while trying to survive. The film does a great job showing how loyalty, family, money, and the streets can all collide, while still capturing the unique energy and culture of the Bay Area. It was an engaging watch and I can’t wait to see what Berner does next! See more Natalia S @RT41074640 5h This film captures the essence of San Fransisco's contemporary social issues through the lens of creative storytelling and intentional filmmaking. Stories from the Fillmore District are told by way of a real and raw expose. As a Bay Area Native, it is refreshing and invigorating to consume art by artists from our own community. See more Lawrence D @LDB415 5h I enjoyed the movie. It really felt like the city was showcased in a honest and unfiltered light. Can’t wait for the sequel. See more Read all reviews
