Movies typically are either over hype or under hyped. The point is movies like the original Superfly, Belly, Shottas, The Mack, are now few and far between. This movie is not nearly as good as the aforementioned however it fills in the gap that viewers have missed.
The movie does a good job to show both the ups and the downs of the street life and the issues with trying to choose a better life in an entertaining format. I think the rival gang served its purpose but lacked context, like why in the world would so much lip be accepted, and at times the rival gang leader seemed forced more than actually a solid character. The acting is good. I think this is actually a good film for adults to enjoy.
