The Muscle – Online for 24 Hours and In-Person at 7PM

Friday, September 19, 2025 @ 7:00pm



NJ Film Festival
71 Hamilton Street, New Brunswick, NJ 08901

The film is about a man named Ron who has a big heart but is caught up in a life of crime. He witnesses a murder and soon after discovers who was responsible for his father's death. His uncle was aware of the situation but never acted upon it because of greed. It's far beyond what Ron could ever imagine. He must choose revenge or forgiveness but he can't trust no-one. He wants to do the right thing but will he? His childhood priest tries to direct the right path but the father's killer and Ron have a bond that goes back for years. Will Ron give the father killer a pass? Will Ron forgive his uncle and mostly will Ron forgive himself... The killer's fate lies in the hands of only Ron or does it?

Director Ryan Halasz
