“Take A Ride To The Edge”

In South Central Los Angeles, Jim Davis (Christian Bale) comes home from the Army Rangers expecting a job with the LAPD, and the offer falls through. His best friend Mike Alonzo (Freddy Rodríguez) is being pushed by his girlfriend Sylvia (Eva Longoria) to find work, while Jim drifts back toward small heists and quick cash. David Ayer, writing and directing, shows two men on the streets they grew up on, one keeping Mike close.
