Trivia:
Was originally to be distributed by New Line Cinema but after New Line requested edits to the film that the director was unwilling to make they sold the movie to Universal, who then released it as the director originally intended. The transition caused the movie to be delayed nearly a year from it's originally intended release date set by New Line.

Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: Two times throughout the movie, two characters are seen playing on a Xbox console, although the screen shows that only one player is currently playing. If two people were playing, the screen would be divided in half.

Sonny Truelove: You wanna know what this is all about? You can say it's about drugs or guns or disaffected youth, or whatever you like. But this whole thing is about parenting. It's about taking care of your children. You take care of yours, I take care of mine.

I watched the movie in a sneak preview. I didn't really know what I was in for. But I got pleasantly surprised ... I mean Justin Timberlake as an actor? I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who had/has prejudices about that. But he was really good. I saw Edison too, but he had Morgan Freeman and others by his side. I still can't say for sure if he acted in this one or if it's just an expansion of his personality (only time will tell . which means more movies with him), but I do think that he is good. Not De Niro/Pacino good, but good! :o) He is the first recognizable name of the young actors of course. You can't obviously forget about Sharon Stone (she's BTW in the one scene I don't like at all, because the scene is to long and it looks like Sharon made the director/editor lengthen that scene, just to show off ... her acting skills) and Bruce Willis. But besides them you also have Ben Foster, who some might know form his TV Work, others from his great job in the movie Hostage, but most will recognise as that Angel in X-Men 3! I could name the other young actors too, whom did all a great job in this movie, but you can also read their names on the IMDb list for the movie.
I liked the movie, because it's an honest, dramatic and sometimes funny look at small time crime-rs.
