Too slow paced, dull and boring for my liking. The constant rhyming made a mockery of the seriousness the situation deserved. Superb acting, though, for a farce of a movie.
I was born and raised in Chicago, so when I heard Spike Lee was making a movie about the violence, I was so excited and I anticipated its release. I read all the headlines about the deaths due to gang violence. I watched the news, horrified that the city I loved was named the murder capital of America. At one time the Chicago Tribune was doing a running total of all the deaths due to gang violence, so I was looking forward to a movie that might somehow explain it, or at least make some sense out of it. Sadly, I'm still waiting.
