one endeavor in filmmaking that quite frequently doesn not turn out well be mix genre . jason lyric combine crime drama and love story and and ghetto film and do it surprisingly beautifully . the acting be remarkable and the script be remarkable and and the emotion be remarkable . this movie could have turn out very pretentious and very cheesy . apparently and the director and writer and and producer completely acknowledge this and and refuse to let that happen . the character be very well develop and and while the movie doesn not justify josh action and it do convey compassion for him . it also provide new insight on what it really like to live in a ghetto . if you can find this movie ( after all and i saw it on showtime and haven not the video in any store ) totally see it .
