User Reviews

Great story. Terrible execution.

I would love someone to remake this movie, as I believe it has the potential to be a great film. Overall the movie seems disjointed and rushed. Character development was practically non-existent. The acting was terrible, which to be honest wouldn't have bothered me as much, if the editing had been better. I will give it high marks for being gritty and fairly realistic, other than the acting. Definitely not your usual Hollywood teen movie. One other thing that really bothered me was the fact that the movie tried to pass off a California city (dry river and all), for Long Island, NY. The entire movie I found myself thinking "what are these Guido's doing in Compton?".
