Chained is a made for a very specific audience. For who need to see that a life on the streets leads nowhere, this is one of those movies that needs to be seen. Personally, I found it interesting that the female criminal protagonists considered the police crooked, when everything that they were doing together was probably even more criminal. It's an interesting perspective that shows the hypocrisy of street life, whether it's a man or a woman living it. Overall, the acting seemed authentic, which is a real plus in a movie like this. Any false notes from the actors would render the whole thing laughable. Thankfully, they were all up to the task, and it seemed that perhaps many of the scenes had a lot of improv to them.
Plot summary

A true indie gem.
Chained was truly an indie gem. Directors Deborah Cardona & Kapri Edwards did a fantastic job with their cast & crew. They did a great job depicting the hardcore reality of the under world drug trade prevalent in various cities not only in the United States but globally. All of the actors did really well and the music and editing were on point.

Intense and Authentic
Chained is an unfiltered and raw look at women getting involved in the drug trade. While Chained doesn't have the budget of a multi-million dollar Hollywood movie, it more than makes up for that with intensity and authenticity. It's definitely worth your time and worth a watch.
