I found no sources beyond IMDb and no proof that the film was ever released. SL93 (talk) 06:44, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, I think? This is a weird one. It completed production in 2011. Variety announced plans in 2012 to package distribution with another Cameron Romero / Tom Sizemore film, Auteur. And then... not much. Auteur was picked up for distribution and released in 2014, although I'm not super confident that it's notable either. My guess is that the package deal with Radical didn't get traction with the eventual Auteur distributor (Music Video Distributors). IMDb claims a 2017 release date for Radical without any sort of sourcing or confirmation; FilmAffinity claims a 2011 release date with no more evidence... but I'm pretty sure that one is just wrong. In any case, and despite the obnoxiously false-positive-laden title, I can't find any reliable reviews of this film or other reportage following the 2011 quick takes. I think the nominator was right to suspect that this was never actually released, and I think equally correct that it isn't notable. It might be worth a redirect and quick mention in Cameron Romero's article, except we don't have one of those. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 21:54, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as whether or not it has been released there is a lack of coverage, for example there are no external reviews at IMDb and no entry at all at Rotten Tomatoes, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 18:13, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
