Description
Named after the fatal force behind a handgun's trigger pull, "5lbs" weaves a fascinating web of misunderstandings, grudges, and tragic paths among a cast of unscrupulous characters. Those lines converge in a Noo Yawk neighbourhood that appears to have changed little since Martin Scorsese's "Mean Streets" more than 50 years ago—at least in this iteration. "5lbs" is a slick, colourfully cluttered effort that keeps viewers' attention without making much of an impression. The problem is that Allocco's dramatic characters are defined solely by their external struggles; we never see their inner lives or feel linked to a world beyond hoodlum tale clichés. https://soap2day.store/5lbs-of-pressure-2024/
