Transcends some of its own cliche's, 2 May 1999
9/10
Author: Edward J. Hahn from Hong Kong

I almost stopped watching when the inmates graduated but I hung in there and realized this movie was going beyond the cliches and attempting to show what few choices a gang banger with a record has. Very realistic.
