This the story of a a young man from the hood who attempts to escape the rigors and temptations of the ghetto in a quest for a better life but you just know that things aren't going to go well...
I enjoyed this but there is a hell of a lot wrong with it .
Firstly , the dialogue is really baggy . I'm not sure if it's the actual words or the way they are performed.
At no stage was I on the side of any of the characters because they just weren't likeable .
They treated people like dirt , they speak to each other badly and violence is an everyday thing , so when they are in jeopardy, I just wanted them to get what they deserved .
There are much better films on the same subject that were released in the late eighties and early nineties but at no stage was I ever bored , because these are people who live life on the edge and it' almost like watching a car crash about to happen .
Lorenz Tate is the best thing about this film . The only time I've seen him in anything after this , is the Netflix TV series Power and I'm surprised he's not had a bigger career based on this impressive performance.
