Review: I was cautious about seeing this one, i had pigeon holed it as a gangster rap movie before i had seen it, i guess i was wrong. I was pleasantly surprised at this one and enjoyed it, though i do not recommend it at all for kids below 15, it should be fine for older teens and people not put off with strong language and violence. It's a story about love and revenge. After all, what wouln't any of us want to do if our mother was gunned down in a robbery?
Little did i know, but i had guessed the way the movie would end about fifteen minutes before it did. I was just randomly speculating and nailed it on the head. This still did not diminish my appreciation or enjoyment, it just made me laugh more. How does it end? Like I'm gonna tell you! NOT on your life. The violence in this movie seemed appropriate for the story, as was the language. I appreciated the way it all was applied and not over blown. The ending gave me a good sense of completion and was satisfying. Not an award winner i think, but worth a look.
