OK, I'll be honest, I'm a conservative middle aged woman from the Mid West area of the United States. I moved down to Atlanta for my job a few years ago, and I was instantly taken back by the difference in the way people live here. It was a culture shock. I live in the Westend area, which is only a few miles from "The Bluff" (the neighborhood this movie was shot in).
Though I don't agree with all of the actions of Curtis Snow, this movie was kinda interesting. It was very realistic, and I really like how clever they were. His problems are not like mine, but for some reason I could actually relate to the "need to provide" themes in this movie. This man is from the poorest area in Atlanta, I'm talking dirt poor, where people are raised in a violent drug filled world, little hope.
It's interesting to me that these filmmakers were able to get in, and get out alive. I'm biased to "found footage" type films, and this is now one of my favorites, it's gonna be a good-add to my collection, next to my other crime-dramas.
