SYNOPSIS
In the City of Angels there exists an entire world beneath Hollywood – the Gangs. When new gangs start encroaching into their neighborhood, the local gang fights back, but as the violence escalates innocent bystanders start to become the victims. One unlucky night, a mixed race couple wanders into the wrong neighborhood, at the wrong time and end up paying the ultimate price. Now the victim becomes the hunter as one man journeys into the violent and unforgiving underbelly of Los Angeles and rips open the wounds where loyalty is decided by the color of your skin, where pain is part of growing up and violence and mayhem rule.

-”Great, Astonishing!”
“In Gangland he’s made a scary, unpredictable action flick with a message that resonates… “
HK and Cult Film News
“This is a tough movie in the vein of our greatest edgy Indie Cinema like Bad Lieutenant, Kids, Mean Streets, Menace II Society, etc… An uncompromising look at the subculture of gangs that is unflinching in its portrayal of the young men and women drawn into that violent world.”
Ray Greene – Pittsburgh Post Gazette
“Gangland depicts gang life almost perfectly. I actually felt a bit uneasy while watching Gangland , which I think is a very powerful and brutal way of showing attitude of gang violence. They didn’t sugarcoat shit. Gangland has some awfully powerful imagery.”
Kevin Cortez, Half-Channel.com
“Gangland’ should be commended. It’s not every film with such an unblinking eye toward realism and authenticity. Clearly, the writer/director knows his material and as an artist, he clearly has the chops.”
Bill Gibron, DVD Talk.com
“Whoo. This was not your average film, but I’ll tell you that Gangland is some heavy duty sh*t that will stick with you for awhile. It’s not just your average revenge plot because it deals heavily with a serious issue of real hate that takes place even today, which is unfathomable. The film remains poignant, honest and brutal.”
Andre Manseau, JoBlo.com
“The film is compared to other gang movies such as “American History X”, “Blood In, Blood Out” or even “Fight Club”, but Gang Land stands out on its own. Maybe because unlike the other films Gang Land is a low-budget, Indie film and by being so it actually benefits from it, the acting is more realistic and gritty, the music more powerful and the story more true to life then it’s Hollywood counterparts. With no Hollywood budget, the film achieves an unparalleled bang for your buck ranging from gun battles, street fights (on Hollywood Blvd), a knife and chain fight with 50+ people, carjackings, graphic sex, etc… Pretty damn impressive.”
