The Ride (2018)

Directed by Alex Ranarivelo this film inspired by real events stars Shane Graham, Ludacris and Sasha Alexander. A boy that was part of a neo nazi gang is adopted by a mixed race couple.

No doubt the story of the protagonist is fascinating but this is a really weak effort when translating it to the screen. Too much change is condensed down into far too short of a timeline for any of it to be believable or properly explored on screen. I also find the casting seriously suspect, Shane Graham is way too old to play the protagonist here.
