Director: Matthew Porterfield
Year Released: 2017
Rating: 1.0
Keith (McCaul Lombardi), having spent time in jail for dealing and on house arrest, has his ankle monitor removed and goes right back to his old habits (instead of studying for his HVAC class or even trying to get a "regular job"): peddling drugs, harassing women and being a burden to his father (Jim Belushi). I like how Porterfield pays attention the lower-class members of society - Baltimore has loads of socio-economic problems - without condescension (everyone's just trying to get by), but this kind of just drifts along aimlessly, following Keith as he borrows a truck, argues with his old crew, talks to associates, gets a lawnmower, picks up an art student and so on, without giving an inkling as to what's going on in his head. Not helping any is that without a closer examination of his mental state, he just comes across as a petulant jerk (when he's not an outright creep) who hasn't fixed himself and has no desire to do so (or can't he?). At least he's contributing to those statistics about recidivism....
