Nice film in which a group of homeless people want to spend the night in a public library because of the cold. The film looks a lot like a hostage drama and could be based on a true story. Entertaining from start to finish, but a bit implausible (not so much how the situation is handled, but the main characters).

I'm not quite sure what to think of it. And I don't often haha

On the one hand I think the story is good, but very poorly executed. So much more could have been taken out of it, I just found this a bit weak.

On the other hand, there were a few pieces that are very well acted and that also manage to convey the necessary emotion and drama.

So I'm kind of in the middle, so 5.

Director Emilio Estevez (also protagonist) confronts the spectator with the inadequate involvement of the authorities in the care of the homeless in America. Between the lines he also denounces the prejudices against these people. An entertaining, socially engaged drama with a tiny wink here and there. Well done.
