I am a huge fan of independent content, and "Pressure" sure did not disappoint. Karon, the protagonist of this perfectly written, produced, and directed film by Abdu Dandridge is faced with many choices in his young life with a finite conclusion. How he decides to act on the "Pressure" of those choices can and will be life-altering.

The antagonist is not necessarily a person. I see the antagonist as the decisions Karon chooses when faced with adversity - from the unrequited love for his father that makes him question the foundation of what family means, or financial challenges he and his mother faced throughout his young life, to the fidelity he has for his friends versus the need to make enough money just to get by while putting those friends in the tragic crosshairs of his choices - Karon must make tough choices that will define who he is at his core.

"Pressure" takes place over a decade during the 1980's crack cocaine epidemic in Harlem. As Karon graduates high school and has choices to make for his future, will he choose the easy way out of his current situation, or will he take the easier and potentially more destructive path? The choice is his to make, and the "Pressure" is all on him.

I highly recommend "Pressure" to anybody with the love of a well-written view of one person's life-altering decisions. I have to believe this story line comes from the writer's real-life perspective while coming-of-age with similar choices that could define his own life. "Pressure" is real. It is gritty. It can crush your soul and give you hope. Watch "Pressure," and ask yourself what choices you would have made if you were in Karon's situation.

WASTE of my time! very bad quality, don't know what the story line is about, horrible acting, and very stupid. VERY useless!!

I have no idea what this movie is about, VERY senseless and HIGHKEY boring. these people shouldn't get paid for this movie. Mess was trash.
