Paul O @pjkeys 6d This movie is a cautionary tale of what happens when you don't take advantage of the opportunities afforded you at the local community college. The main character is the nicest, sweetest murderer you will ever want to meet but everyone just keeps picking on him. It's too bad Karmelo Anthony did not have this guy's attorney representing him as he only served thirteen years for a unaliving some dude by busting a cap in his a. I kept hoping the Equalizer would show up and wipe out this whole cast of characters and low life petty criminals. Now THAT would have been a satisfying movie!

See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Jun 27 5lbs of Pressure is a decent crime drama that had the ingredients for something much stronger but never fully reached its potential. The story has a few compelling moments, yet much of the film feels restrained when it should have been more intense. I expected a grittier, more aggressive thriller, but instead it often plays things too safely, which keeps the emotional and dramatic stakes from hitting as hard as they could. Luke Evans delivers a solid performance, and I enjoyed the storyline involving his character slowly becoming part of his son’s life without the boy realizing who he really is. That relationship becomes the strongest part of the movie and gives it genuine heart Unfortunately, the screenplay misses several opportunities to raise the tension and create more meaningful conflict. Overall, 5lbs of Pressure is watchable with a few emotional moments, but it never becomes as gripping or memorable as it should have been, leaving me feeling like it slightly missed opportunity See more Matt C @RT77718138 Jun 25 It was OK, but I wouldn't watch it again. The ending was inevitable, definitely not a feel good, good guy wins in the end kind a movie. Great acting and writing though. See more Green C @Green242 Jun 25 Well-acted all around. Tense, gritty, engaging atmosphere. Deserves higher rating. See more Frans B @FransB 07/09/2025 Tragedy, not thriller. Very good cinematography. Written in a peculiar manner and well directed by Allocco. Whole cast convincing in character, Luke Evans showing his dramatic capabilities. Intriguing and dark, also riddled with human flaws and misunderstandings / misinterpretations. Ironic in many ways, but certainly captivating See more Read all reviews
