Despite this film's 2010 release date, it felt like it belonged to the 90's era of the asymmetrical bob, oversized apple hat and Cross Color jeans. Maybe it was the absence of a single cell phone or the entire movie revolving around a humble, small grocer with the biblical name Moses, who sells only fruit and vegetables.I'm always up for a good "say no to drugs" and anti-drug trafficking flick, even if it is a little cheesy. Malik, (Omari Hardwick) is a charismatic, self-righteous, pie selling muslim brotha', who is a morally dubious character. Yet, I must say, he is so attractive that you can half understand why Tessa Thompson's character, Claire, is such a naive fool in his presence. When Claire's grandmama passes some family secrets come out the woodwork. Meanwhile leading man Moses, (Henry Brown) can't get a loan from the bank to improve his business and things go from bad to worse.
