Centered around two
best friends, explores their growth apart and there eventual redemption when they step
back from the life they have lived and gain some knowledge of self. The violence and
calousness of the characters is the foundation for the greatest of contrasts. The absence
of the value of life to the understanding of the importance of all life. Very good
performances from first timers DMX and Nas, as well as amazing cinematography and lighting
place this film in a whole different category than Boys in the Hood and Menace II Society.
