After her brother dies suddenly, attorney Rochelle Moore (Cassandra King) returns to her hometown. There, she learns her brother was a member of the Hoop Soldiers, an illegal underground basketball team that plays a violent form of no-holds-barred caged basketball for money. As Moore delves deeper into the dangerous circumstances surrounding her brother's death, she begins to realize the stakes are much higher than she'd imagined.

Reviews
Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Blake Rivera If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
arch enemy This film was very interesting. In the first 5 minutes I saw Mr. Dougall playing basketball and then he got punched in the face. elev the hype: "Gravity" is as jaw-droopingly spectacular as you've heard — magnificent from a technical perspective but also a marvel of controlled acting and precise tone. This is not hyperbole: This is the best film I've seen so far this year.I seriously have no idea how Alfonso Cuaron made this movie. I mean, I have some idea, and it involves many, many talented people in front of many, many computers. But the fact that we genuinely feel like we're watching George Clooney and Sandra Bullock in space — floating, tumbling, hurtling, clinging to each other for life — is just a mind-bogglingly impressive thing. We forget that these are A-list stars and become totally immersed in their characters' struggle to survive.My good friend Justin Chang at Variety put it best when he said: "See it in 3D, on the biggest screen you can find." If there's an IMAX th eater near you, get there. If there isn't an IMAX th eater, hop in your car and drive to one. I saw it in plain-old 3-D and was blown away — I can't even imagine how much more mesmerizing it would have been in IMAX."Gravity" does everything right in ways that are both big and small. It's beautiful and horrifying, detailed yet enormous, specific yet universally relocatable. Yes, it's about how space can be a wondrous and unforgiving place but it's also about earthly human truths: love and loss, perseverance and redemption.
mquint1 Hoop Soldiers is obviously a low budget film, still, it made it to the shelves of Hollywood rentals. The film is an interesting journey into the underground world of corruption. The fight scenes were unusual, mixing boxing with basketball. Overall the characters were amusing.
MrKoolAid What were they thinking when they made this movie? Hey, lets find every guy in out town that can't play basketball and then make a basketball movie! Oh, and throw in some bad fighting, bad acting, bad effects, bad sound, bad cinematography and, probably, bad catering. Uugh. Who in their right mind made this? Whoever made this movie needs to never ever get within 100 yards of a camera again please im begging you for the love of god dont do it!
