I think the movie portrays what is wrong w/ youth these days. Its funny, because im in my mid 20s now and could relate to Flips feelings. Basically, the movie is about an Iowa white kid who thinks he's a gang banger. He goes to Chicago and finds out that things are different. I wish more of the movie would have been based in Chicago rather than in Iowa. It would have been a little better. Overall, I think its a interesting movie. Nothing too special, but I didnt fall asleep. In conclusion, If Piper Perabo reads this, please email me! :)
