This movie will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. It's a story full of heart and soul, but so true to life it will make you squirm in your seat. It is essentially a story of four kids lost in a world of mixed messages and misdirection who all come face to face with themselves in the worst of all possible circumstances. It's a hard edged look at something a lot of people think is in this country's past - a serious race/class divide that plagues us still today. The familiar story lines are approached with a freshness that rings true to all of us who have been there, but doesn't over sentimentalize. I recommend this film to anyone who is willing to put themselves through a wild ride and wake up to the fact that a lot of the problems we thought we solved are more present than ever. This is truth.
