"Brutal Lonely", an action drama by Sheldon Shacket
Are you ready for some light-hearted fun? We’ve got a bunch of characters loaded with problems to make you feel pretty darn good about your own life. Sort of a Les Miserables with guns, criminals and folks with particularly bad luck.
The main character is a muscular black man who can’t read, and then we’ve got a guy who’s in the process of going blind who has come to the conclusion that the black guy had inadvertently killed his parents.
There’s another former police officer who has a devastating facial deformity. On the lighter side there are a bunch of gang members who enjoy Pulp Fiction-style banter before they all end up dead. An unwed black girl who has her baby taken away from her and forced into prostitution is the comic relief.
All of the events start on Friday, December 13th, 2013 after a terrorist attack in Chicago that resulted in the perpetrator getting away with $5 million in Guatemalan bearer bonds. Then we roll into Christmas where the only present the characters receive is lump of coal in their throats.
You can’t beat the ending where the good guys make out like bandits and the bandits get their asses handed to them on a platter. (Not for pre-schoolers.)
