Good movie
Good movie as expected !!!!'
Man...
I thought this was a fantastic movie; a unique take on the classic gangster film that focused on the philosophical underpinnings of personal growth as opposed to simply glorifying rebellious antics. The psychological depth of the characters in relation to their individual situations provided a great platform for a commentary on what truly matters to individuals in life as well as the struggle that comes with holding a unique dream amidst the struggles of peer pressure and broken backgrounds. Its possible I am biased because of the sheer subject matter I was able to relate to, but I dont think that is the case. I think this is a worthwhile movie for anyone who appreciates a solid, action packed movie, with an edge and a message to convey.
Great movie!
