Kicks verges on being a documentary in its presentation. With close and personal filming style, authentic dialogue and story line, Kicks tells a story that is all too familiar in hoods of any urban area. The bully is really nothing more than a guy who gets pleasure from preying on the tolerance and innocence of others. He carries a big gun and has his crew, but down deep he is nothing more than a punk.
Brandon, a little frizzy haired boy, who buys his dream shoes, falls victim to the bully. With fearless intent, he confronts the bully and gets his shoes back. The story line could take many forms, but the result is always the same. Until the little guy takes a stand or someone reaches out to protect him, we all run the risk of becoming victims.
Kicks has grit and always feels true. There is hope in the despair.
