The Keeper Audience Reviews

Kodie Bird True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Sula Shoo The Keeper is a tense drama about a corrections officer who decides to bail out a Haitian immigrant he feels has been wrongfully accused of rape. The film takes a few turns after that, but I wont give the story away. Regina Taylor, a very underrated actress, gives a great performance. Giancarlo Esposito is incredible as the man who tries to rise above his station in life and do good and then comes apart. There's also a lot of interesting stuff in the film about African-American class issues.
