Jordan completely disappeared into the role. Jordan's starring performance as Grant was a slam dunk and let me tell you it was no lay-up due to the nature of the complex character he had to portray. Coogler's scribe of the picture was not as impressive as his direction but still gets the word out on doing what is right not just for one's own sake but for their loves ones and of course, he also disseminates the message on the unjustified death of Grant. Consequently, that gives the movie more depth and authenticity. Writer-Director Ryan Coogler orchestrates "Fruitvale Station" primarily on Grant's last day with his family, girlfriend, and friends instead of just simply taking the "plight for justice" road. This unfortunate event did not get the headlines that the Trayvon Martin case did, but was just as sad because a young life was taken away way too soon. The officer was part of a group of policemen who held Grant and his friends at the station for fighting with others in a train. Grant was accidentally killed by a police officer at the Fruitvale BART station. The film is based on the true story of Oscar Grant, 22-year-old Bay Area resident, who crosses paths with friends, enemies, family, and strangers on the last day of 2008. Nevertheless, I think you should stop at this station to witness the impact that this movie throws at you. "Fruitvale Station" is not the feel-good movie of the year.
