Charm City Kings is an HBO Max original directed by Angel Manuel Soto. The story follows Mouse which is brilliantly by Jahi Di'Allo Winston, Mouse is a Fourteen-year-old bright young boy who lives with his younger sister and mother. Mouse desperately wants to join the Midnight Clique, an infamous group of Baltimore dirt-bike riders. As the story continues we get to see the lives of Mouse and his two friends. Meek Mill and Will Catlett also stars in this film, bringing impressive and realistic performances.

Charm City Kings is truly an amazing film but it isn't for everyone, I loved every single minute of it. There's great writing in this film, the dialogue is both authentic and realistic. The film isn't entirely based on a true story but it sure feels like it, it's based on a documentary though. There's so much heart, both for the characters and Baltimore City.

The filmmaker, cast and crew created a phenomenal film that everyone should experience at least once. It might be among the best drama's out there that is focused on these topics and themes.
