A smart, likeable, 17-year-old film student from Harlem sees his world turned upside down when he's charged with a murder. We follow his dramatic journey through a complex legal battle.
Engaging.
"Despite some shortcomings, though, Monster remains a worthy watch if just for Harrison's performance."
