Summary: try & try again
Review: Omar Epps is great in this movie. Its a sometimes sad yet uplifting story of one inner city youth's travels through the rites of passage that exist for many inner city Black Americans. As the movie shows the price of failure is high, frequent and unforgiving, and even if you do cross the passage, the rewards of success are met with many formidable obstacles that will test your perservance & your heart. Its not a fairy tale though, very realistic with alot of drama. I liked Omar Epp's acting and the music, especially at the end. An excellent movie

Review: OMAR EPPS SHOWS A GREAT PERFORMANCE.I WOULD RECOMMENED THIS MOVIE TO TROUBLED TEENS THAT LIKE TO BE PUNKS,GANGBANGERS,DRUG DEALERS AND SO ON.THIS MOVIE HELPED ME WALK THE RIGHT PATH FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.I ALSO LIKED THE MOVIE BECAUSE IT TAKES PART IN CHICAGO WHERE I USED TO LIVE.FOR THE PARENTS OUT THERE BUY THIS AND LET YOUR SON OR DAUGHTER SIT DOWN AND WATCH IT BY THEMSELVES MAYBE IT WOULD KNOCK SOME SENSE INTO THEIR THICK SCULLS.ANOTHER THING "TREACH" FROM THE RAP GROUP NAUGHTY BY NATURE PLAYS A HUGE ROLE IN IT.

Summary: A very well produced, directed, and presented film......
Review: This movie is in one word, powerful. Omar Epps portrays a Chicago drug dealer who ends up in the infamous Cook County jail and is given a second chance by undergoing a military style Boot Camp.There are so many lessons that can be learned by watching this film. There are so many sociological points of view with regards to the underground economy, unemployment, African-Americans and poverty, the poverty trap, and the psychological factors leading to fatalism. This movie is a must see. I would recommend this movie to not only interested viewers (who are of course objective), university students (especially, take your heads out of the books for a minute), and, of course, to professors (especially) and to all concerned parents and community members across our great nation.
