This was Bokeem Woodbine's debut. It was a good depiction of the gun trafficking that goes on in the inner cities of America especially in NYC. This would be a good learning tool for many of today's teenager's on how reckless life can be if they are not careful.
I LIVED THROUGH THE MAKING OF THIS MOVIE September 13, 2007
Theresa Seabrooksimmons (Richmond, VA)
My son was in this movie as the 12-year old gun buyer. He is now 26 years old. It was truly great working with Forest Whitaker while he directed this film. A real classic and reminder to all that the hood really exist. My son and I, especially my son, never experienced growing up in the hood. We learned so much from this movie. I remember so clearly when the gun-buying scene was being filmed - real sirens were heard in the background. It touched me so deeply, for that moment, the scene became real. In reality, it was real because it happens every day.
Thanks Forest Whitaker for giving us the opportunity to work with you and your talent "then" speaks for your success "today"... Keep up the Good Work!
(By the way, my eight year old son was also in the film but his scene got CUT...smile.)

this is movie is so good, you don't see movies like these anymore.the movie captivates you about crooked cops and it demonstrates how far people will go to better their life situations.i highly recommend this movie for anybody that wants to see cops and street criminals dealing with guns,but its more about survival for these good actors.fredo starr is such a good actor like tupac shakur, he makes you feel like hes the real person being portrayed.

Not very many people have heard of this movie and I don't understand why. Bokeen Woodbine and Fredro Star play their characters well. This movie is kind of a mix between Juice and Fresh. If your into the hood movies you gotta see this.
