About This Movie

Bushwick, directed by a team that remains somewhat under the radar, really leans into a gritty, immersive experience. The whole film has this raw, urgent feel, almost like you're right there dodging chaos in the streets. The pacing is relentless; it grabs you and doesn’t let go. The dynamic between Lucy, the student, and Stupe, the veteran, is intriguing—they’re an odd pair, but their chemistry works. It’s a commentary on survival and camaraderie amidst urban warfare. The practical effects are solid, adding to that visceral sense of danger. You can feel the weight of the military presence throughout, which gives the film a unique edge compared to more polished action flicks.
