Fruitvale Station.

There is a sense of awareness among the makers about the sensitive issues raised in here as it is perfectly balance on terms of biography, drama and the craft that is explored. Its ingenious take on depicting such a character and the accuracy and honesty of it, is what makes the viewers connect to it from the first frame as it doesn't waste any of its time on justifying the occurred incidents. The writing is smart, to-the-point and poignant where even the writer puts the storyline above everything else which helps keep the audience engaged. There isn't much to look forward to on terms of technical aspects like background score or sound department but the editing surely makes it all worth. Ryan Coogler; the writer-director, is the reason behind all the heart that the feature is, for his brilliant execution skills is apt for the tale it tells. He speaks on all levels when it comes to convey his characters on screen without any dialogues. On performance level, Michael B. Jordan is no match to any other supporting cast of his except for Octavia Spence who is equally elegant and speaks volume in here. Fruitvale Station is a wake-up call at night for the audience, society, movie-goers and makers, as it redefines it all again.
