Bad one

The story is about a bunch of girls that live in the worst part of a suburbia city. Knowing that her only way to survive is the criminal way, they will not be frightened by the dangers of this kind of life, and love/hate will be their motor. This story mixed with the story of Fran, an amateur boxer and the head of the local gang is the main plot of this movie. The story is very incoherent and, most of times, quite stupid and boring. It is not interesting and the characters are totally contradictory, they react strangely and it is clear that neither the script nor the actors are good. Some claim that this movie talks about the life in suburban zones, but it is so far from reality that this is just impossible to realize for common spectator. At any moment there's the slightest point of improvement and, many times, you become desperate due to the lack of common sense and intelligence of all the characters, there's lots of films everywhere, if possible, choose another one.
