My first impression of Cru was that it's refreshing to see a film with a predominately Black cast with good acting AND presented with such a high production value. It's rare to see so many Black men on the screen and not have the story center around a life of crime.
Cru is a film about friendship and forgiveness, and the latter is a topic many families could use a refresher course in. The film also explores some interesting territory including, but not limited to: the African immigrant experience, loving Black women and fatherhood.
While I may have figured out some of the major plot twists halfway through, I enjoyed watching the characters grow and arrive at these destinations. You feel the bond between the crew and the actors have a natural chemistry which comes through the screen.
