"Here is a throwback 🎥 movie that flew under the radar. An engaging story about a man’s return to his neighborhood in Astoria, New York. Dual timelines shift as viewers learn the tensions and events that led Nico (Robert Downey Jr.), a now successful writer, away from his family and friends. Promising performances by all involved: Shia La Beouf, Eric Roberts, Dianne Weist, Rosario Dawson, Chaz Palminteri, and Channing Tatum, make this movie a worthy throwback pick. #tbt #hidden_gems "

"An outstanding ensemble cast coming of age drama - Shia LaBeouf, Channing Tatum, Diane Weist, Chazz Palminteri & Robert Downey Jr. take us on a ride thru Astoria, NY, 1980s. Powerful story of danger and excitement meeting the pain of dysfunctional family dynamics and possible reconciliation. Brilliantly acted. with a spectacular music score!"

"I feel like this movie is underrated. Everyone shines is this movie, their performances are amazing, especially Shia labeouf. Really devastating movie about leaving behind everything you know, because it's no longer good for you. It never was."

"2006. Shia, Channing, Rosario! Intense, gripping, and emotional. Based on a 2001 memoir of the same name by author, director, and musician Dito Montiel, which describes his youth in Astoria, Queens, New York, during the 1980s… Filmed in Astoria, Queens, NY."
