Another one of those indie gems in the rough, which follows an Indian America, ex con, just out of the joint,, doing a lengthy stint, trying to reconnect with family, which falls on deaf ears, where he sorely finds, the harsh outcome, living on the streets. What's so great about Mekko, is the phenomenally real acting, which at times, you forget they are. One actor who unjustly escaped an accolade, was the bearded guy, playing Mecco's old friend. He was the one that stood out. All the actors are great in this film, and we truly feel the desolation, bitterness, and loneliness of our character character, as well as regret. The guy playing the psycho is a masterpiece body of acting, truly haunting, but there are truly haunting moments of Mecco itself, which contains a couple of bloody scenes, one near it's end, you'll never see coming, as in it's intentions. But I always knew Mekko was gonna kill somebody by the end of the film, Great Indie film making, with a faint edgy aura, through it, but more so, remembered for it's real and great acting, budding thespians like me, can't afford to miss.
