St. Michael Of The City recently was screened at the Garden State Film Festival and is now streaming on TUBI and on Prime Video and VUDU. Starring Adam Radcliff, a prominent actor from Warrington who has played in Hollywood movies, independent movies and serials.
“St. Michael Of The City” takes place in Trenton, NJ. The film introduces us to Michael (played by Adam Ratcliffe), who, after a seven-year absence, returns to his hometown only to discover that the more things change, the more they stay the same. The local gang, led by Paulie (Brian Anthony Wilson), continues its extortion practices, while Michael's cousin, Cuz (Interdonato), laments the unrecognized efforts that have expanded their operations. Amidst this, Michael's reunion with his former love, Diane (Jensen Jacobs) — who has since married Paulie — complicates his intentions for returning. Despite his past, Michael finds himself drawn back into the gang's illicit activities, all while grappling with the underlying motivations for his return and the possibility of rekindling old flames.
“Saint Michael Of The City” navigates the complexities of loyalty, love, and the unyielding grip of one's past, posing the question of whether one can ever truly escape the shadows of home.
