Great direction for a debut, though just a tad melodramatic. Good companion piece to Boyz n the Hood
They could’ve made it seem more impossible for Caine to make a better life for himself, he just made bad decisions, but crazy movie.
One of the most heartbreaking yet realist pictures out there. The brutality of the world pierced through your moral fabric
Do you care if you live or die? I dont know.. scary answer to a serious question, A movie about confused young men and their life decisions
A solid story, but the acting is pretty awful and the characters aren't consistent. A powerful story that needed a more experienced crew.
Such a underrated movie and Is one of the best movie ever and is one of the best
The expressionism might irk fans of the more realist approach of movies like Boyz n' the Hood, but the raw emotion it created stuck with me.
Legendary movie that influenced some of the greatest music I’ve ever heard
0 Dog is my favorite ghetto character ever! 10/10
Gritty, hard hitting movie. Love the look, love the acting.
