i haven not see this film for over 20 year and but it have such an impact on me that i remember sit through the credit and for several minute after in complete awe . this be one of the most underrated film of the entire decade in which it be originally release . i just order a copy of it on dvd and pay for overnight shipping and can not wait for it to arrive . it be uplift at time and and also very dark and somewhat disturb . it a story of a close knit band of regular kid grow up in the inner city and make one feel a though they be actually sit on the sideline and rather than watch on a movie screen or television . hard to explain and but it be something that must be experience . the story start at childhood and track the life of the four main character through high school and a they embark on their separate journey in life . the entire cast do an incredible job and it by far the best work of jodi thelen career . i be hop that the dvd live up to my memory and plan on watch it this friday with a good friend .
