3 Strikes
the few, the proud, the paroled.
Directed by DJ Pooh
A comedic action-thriller about a paroled ex-con wrongly framed for a crime, balancing humor with the stakes of redemption and legal jeopardy.
Brian Hooks plays a character who is just released from jail. And the state adopts a "3 strikes" rule for felons that involves serious penalties. Hooks has 2 strikes, and wants to change his life for the better. When a friend picks him up, they are pulled over, and his friend shoots at police officers, and Hooks escapes. Now Hooks, a wanted man, must clear his name of having nothing to do with the shooting.
