EMGWorld presents... "The Verdict"
Overall Quality: B
For an independent picture, this film was well constructed. The picture quality and visual effects are crisp and measure up with anything you would expect to see from a major vendor.
Storyline: B
The story of a young man and his grandmother is obviously not intended to immediately capture your attention. However, you will find yourself sucked into the story as it goes along.
This picture is obviously designed for a more intimate audience. Broken Roads will score great with family audiences (minus having to witness a teenager screaming at his grandmother from time to time).
Scene Variation: C
Broken Roads contains several gorgeous outdoor scenes and locations. However, there’s definitely room for more indoor locations. There’s only so much a viewer can look forward to when a story continues to be told in one location. Just ask anyone that’s ever watched a Tyler Perry movie.
Film Score (Music): A
The musical selection and composition were exceptional throughout the film. Viewers are given music that complements each scene perfectly.
Biggest Drawback:
The introduction of the film was extremely long. You would assume you were watching a music video with the amount of time it takes before you actually see the film title.
Number ONE Reason to Watch:
Sensitivity. Broken Roads shares the story of a teen struggling to repair his life and his relationship with his grandmother. So many teens today struggle to heal their emotional wounds. A “broken” teen only grows to become a “broken” adult. Broken Roads displays how a young man copes with his brokenness and lands back on the right road.
