"Bitch, you stink!", 26 February 2009
7/10
Author: freidurchdietat from Los Angeles, California

Brilliant. Cannon Films does it again. Man I enjoy this movie on so many levels, the hi-energy 1980's 'Rapping music' score, the brutally realistic depiction of the horrors of Crack addiction (Just Say No! kids), the politically incorrect portrayal of the Hispanic/Black LA gang wars, and the generally brutal and sadistic violence committed on the two fragile white girls by a host of visible minorities. The story is basically a tale of two lovers (a bi-racial couple) who get torn apart by the plagues of east LA circa the late 1980's; gangs and drugs. Will their love for each other help them over come these evils? The MGM DVD is brand new 2007 and Widescreen.
