Definitely Gangster

About This Movie

Definitely Gangster is an interesting blend of adventure and animation that explores some heavy themes through a whimsical lens. The film follows young Zander, who, after a cancer diagnosis, embarks on a wild journey with his best friend Julie. The cardboard box that triggers their escapades adds a layer of charm, creating a unique narrative device. It's not your standard kids' movie; you get this odd mix of pirates, convicts, and lawmen that brings a bit of grit to the animation. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but it does foster a dreamlike quality that fits well with the storyline. The performances, especially from the young leads, have a raw authenticity that really grounds the film amidst all its fantastical elements.
