Just re-watched this very under-rated film. It starts off very Boyz N The Hood but halfway through becomes a completely different film. I won't say more. The 12-year old lead more than holds his own with Samuel Jackson and Giancarlo Esposito. I turned off the (self-involved) director's commentary pretty quickly, but I will say that his comparison of this film to The 400 Blows isn't far off. Rating: 4 out of 5 stars.
