8/10
A good movie, but a slow starter
27 November 2004
In the beginning I wasn't really convinced about the quality of the movie. Especially the first 30 minutes weren't too special. It felt too much like a typical late eighties / early nineties movie than like an all time classic. But I have to admit that, even though it's a bit of a slow starter, it really is a good movie especially at the end.

It's about a bunch of youngsters that live on the streets of L.A. trying to make a living out of stealing and begging and some occasional prostitution. You'll get a good insight on what these people's lives are like. I'm not saying that I had sympathy for them when I saw them using drugs, stealing car radio's... but at least I understood why they did it.

All in all I enjoyed watching this movie. It may not be a real classic, but it sure had some potential. I give it a 7.5/10.
