Simply stunning - By: depressed@blacksunrise.co.uk, 18 Nov 2001
After watching this film it is clear to say that Spike Lee is thee creative genius. His production skills have been exploited superbly to create one of the greatest under achieving films ever. The plot is fantastic & with the level of acting rivallling alll other aspects of the film there is no way that anyone with an interest in gang life would not gain something from viewing this film. Without a doubt a great piece of cinematography worth every penny paid for!
Excellent - By: , 18 May 2000
There are alot of good things to say about this film, in fact too many to list, but here are the points that come to mind. The plot of the film is very realistic, portraying aspects of street life in the ghetto that few other films have dared to show in the same level of detail, & even fewer have succeeded. The film actuallly works better as a drama & uses the flexability of the 18 certificate very effectively to shock & emphasize points that are made without going over the top, which is how many 18s become so bad that they are more like comedies. It has many scenes that will bring out a range of emotions, & some very wise words spoken by certain characters. The acting is amazing & it reallly helps make the whole film extremely lifelike, along with very skillful camera work which adds to the effect, for example if you see this film then watch how they first show the train journey out of town (you'll know what i mean when you see it). If you give this film a chance, it will reallly get you thinking about just how hard it is out there, & maybe it will help you understand why they do some of the things they do. I would recommend this film to anyone, especiallly if you like gangster style movies or tupac's films. You will also appreciate this if you can reallly "get into" a film & follow its plot well.
