Strike One (2014): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 2014, Strike One is an action, drama and crime film directed by David Llauger Meiselman, running about 102 minutes. “A Coward Dies a Thousand Deaths” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Juan Garcia is a boy on the threshold of manhood living in a gang-controlled neighborhood. His role models could not be further apart: his older sister Angie, a single mom, struggling to gain a foothold in the white corporate world and his uncle Manny, an ex-gang member, who has fallen into an acting career playing gang bangers since his release from prison. With the future on his doorstep, Juan, like most boys, can only think of girls and is unaware of the judicial system's hard line stance against gang affiliation.

Who’s in it. Strike One stars Danny Trejo as Manny Garcia, French Stewart as Director, Reginald VelJohnson as Judge Morris and James Russo as Paul Fairfield, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 5.6/10, Strike One has drawn a solid, mixed-to-positive response.
