TROOP ZERO (Theatrical Release USA 2019)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.4|5.0 Starsìììì

Troop Zero—earthy, with undertones that may remind an audience of Beast of the Southern Wild—becomes a small diamond in the rough for entertainment. The film has been loosely written, almost disjointed, in a style that completely captures a possible life after Mom has passed away. Great acting comes in a casting package of Viola Davis, Alison Janney, Mckenna Grace, and James Gaffigan with guest star Mike Epps. Great work for Director Katie Elwood and Amber Templemore-Finlayson (credited as Bert and Bertie).

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?

Yes. Lovable film shows how to win on a deeper level when losing a prize. This is almost a watch again film with its own WOW! factor.
