Ken K Recently saw this on the big screen in Downtown Los Angeles's Million Dollar Theater and it blew me away. It's one of those gritty tense urban coming-of-age tales that feels so authentic that ANYTHING can happen at ANY moment. I was white knuckling it the whole ride. From a filmmaking perspective this movie is running full throttle on all cylinders -- exceptional script, beautiful acting, pitch-perfect tone, dynamic directing, sensational sound, and expert editing. As close as we get to a modern day Menace 2 Society. See it NOW! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/13/25 Full Review Jennifer P I was deeply engaged in this story. The environment is so well done, the world that we think we know, has changed. Die Like a Man, features a part of Los Angeles that is in transition. Through the healing of old timers, a brave compassion for the youth, confronts their internal conflicts. We literally feel the agonizing decisions growing up in this side of LA. The performances are so moving that you realize these are rising stars! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/10/25 Full Review Robert L F Breakout performance for the lead, Miguel Angel Garcia, in this emotional coming of age film set on the streets of LA. The film highlights a kind of toughness often neglected in movies in this genre. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/09/25 Full Review A.D. G Somber and provocative, Die Like a Man takes you into a world where doing time is a goal and Doritos are a reward. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/09/25 Full Review Valerie A Die Like a Man captivated me with its compelling story and strong character development.
