In a blend of fiction and reality, FIVE STAR explores the relationship between two men – Primo, an actual gang leader in the East New York Bloods, and John, a young man trying to decide whether gang life is the path for him. As Primo mentors John in the workings of the gang world, a secret threatens both men's futures. The film is a nuanced portrait of two men struggling with gang life, and an intimate contemplation on manhood in the modern urban environment. (FamuFest)

Another one of those modern movies. It's a current issue that troubles society, at least in some parts of the world, but it's presented in a way that should be realistic, yet in reality, it's heavily artificial. Yes, there's no blood splattering here because this doesn't happen in reality... Because this is a powerful, human drama. Except I didn't find it very powerful.
