This movie was a graphic but realistic story about gang life and racism in the current day. As you watch the film, you get so caught up in it, and don't look away for a second. Although the film had some nudity and a bit a graphic violence, children could learn from this. As how not to go about life (of course!). But hey, if you don't trust your children, rent them The Flintstones and get them tucked away in their own rooms. Then bust this movie out, make some popcorn, get some pop/soda/cola, and watch. I gaurantee this movie is worth every renting or purchasing dollar.
