December 15, 2008A decent film with a good young cast. The story is okay and the acting was good. Not a bad watch.

June 9, 2008Above average gritty inner city school drama. Usher did an okay job as the ring leader. And Forest is brilliant as always...
Look out for an early shot at Rosario Dawson. -

April 18, 2008This movie kind of remind me of the horrible conditions found in many places in my country, specialy the reactions of the authorities. The movie was effective and well-made,the acting was okay from the whole cast and USHER was not that bad I thought he will be.

April 3, 2008I liked this movie a lot way back when. I recently saw a bit of it again, and I definitely don't think it's as good as I used to think, LOL
