This is an incredible movie, it has similar themes to crash and boyz n the hood but totally stands apart as a masterful film in its own right. The characters find themselves in a very difficult situation with no easy choices, and potentially devastating consequences to bad decisions that don't have much time to be made. The conflict in the mind of each character is very well explored by a great script and careful editing that moves between back story and real time. It's very moving but also thrilling, keeping the tension tight throughout with powerful performances from a strong cast and an excellent music score. The film also has a great look to it, lush, cinematic and gritty at the same time, as though "The Wire" was made for the big screen. If you want a hard dose of thought provoking reality without preachiness, and want to be moved and entertained at the same time, you will love this film.
