From the beginning, I was hooked. Troy is such an easily relatable character in his thoughts and naïveté, even his home life. Marcus seemed like the complete opposite; tragically flawed and jaded by those who he was supposed to trust. Somehow there's magic within the pairing of two ends of such a broad spectrum, and this movie managed to capture that flawlessly! Mr. Billings at first appeared to be the typical tough dad with no personality other than strict and intimidating, but his obvious love for his sons and others combined with the absence of a maternal figure really added an unexpected but much loved dimension to his character. I loved every moment watching this film and it ended far too soon. I want more from this universe and these people but I'm fortunate to have spent even this much of my time with them. If you're offered the chance to watch this movie, don't hesitate to do so!
