Mathew was excellent all the characters were. There was a sound problem, some dialogue wasn't spoken clearly or loud enough for the slang and ebonics. Otherwise it's a shame on this being a true story that doesn't have a happy ending!!! Watching what the wrong decision can do to your life!!!

Its a sad story because of the abuse inflicted by law enforcement officials on would be criminals for the sake of gaining points for themselves. The movie itself was well done, well acted and kept my interest however it was evident that they cut some corners in the true story in retelling it for the screen.

Had to read between the lines to figure some things out. Not total clear on how some things happened

A strong depiction of poverty, hopelessness, and desperation, and what it leads people to do to survive. As such, is also a depiction of the role of guns in the everyday life of the 'hood. Perhaps would have been a more meaningful movie if we had seen the release of the other perps, some argument about sentencing, and some examination of the fbi procedures. Fictionalized, of course, but addressing the point. ... This is not a great film, but it is a good one.
