I thought this movie was predictable until it got near the end ... then everything flipped. Interesting surprises. All the good guys aren't good and all the bad aren't that bad. Lots of actors I haven't seen before, so in that regard it was very fresh. I hope to see some of these young actors in the near future. See if you can find one of the young actors from The Wire in this. Tell the director to keep on directing ... This film reminded me of Spike Lee's earlier films, such as She's Got to Have It; a little rough around the edges but valuable nonetheless. It's not too violent, not too much sex, and not too much profanity. Okay for teens; lessons can be learned without the overkill of other "in the hood" movies. It's short in length and worth $10.00 or so. I'm middle aged, wasn't bored with the teen stuff and was completely taken off guard and was refreshed by the ending.
