Accuracy of Book Profile
Yes, the book profile does reflect the book but it is not written grammatically correct. There are many misspelled words.
Draw of Story
The story begins with a flashback of Kartel near death, deciding his fate after being attacked and shot. He decides to live and begins to tell his life story.
Possible Drawbacks
The is entertaining from the beginning. All of the events aid in the story and the overall understanding of the character. There could be more perspective of characters in Kartel's life to give more depth to the story.
Use of Special Effects
THE STORY DOES NOT RELY ON SPECIAL EFFECTS
Primary Hook of Story
The hook is that Kartel's life as a drug dealer created many highs and lows in his life and now he is working to make positive change in the world.
Fanbase Potential
This could have a large fanbase. It explores the world of drugs and the culture of those who deal them. It is gritty and dynamic to see how a person's childhood shapes them and pushes them down a certain path.
Awards Potential
This does not have awards potential as is. Kartel's character has the potential to be very impactful and inspirational but not much time is taken to explore him emotionally. If the story tapped in more to his psyche surrounding the events of his life, it would create more depth. The audience does not get as invested in the characters as it does in the wild antics.

What’s New About the Story
The story is original because Kartel career as a drug dealing doesn't end in this dramatic way. He is busted my the FBI and dragged to prison. He makes the decision through a series of events and even then, dabbles in the business afterwards.
Lead Characters
Kartel is a product of his environment and childhood, moving through the world to maintain his status and persona. He excels at it. There isn't much to him outside of this because that part of him is not explored in the story. It is about his time on the streets.
Uniqueness of Story
This is an entertaining film that sheds light on a world seldom seen. And from the perspective of those born into it. It addresses topics such as racism, drugs in poor communities, violence, toxic parents and education disparities.

Analyst Recommendation
CONSIDER
Justification
This story is a look into the world of drugs and drug dealing in black and brown communities, from a human perspective. It is a retrospective of a person's life who was deep into the culture. This story invokes thought and conversation while entertaining. It is eye-opening but needs more balance between the events of the story and the emotional toll those events take on the characters.
