December 24, 2003This is definitely a movie that tops my favorites list. To begin with, all aspects of the movie kept me glued to the screen. Not one time did I care to glance at the clock. I dont think they could've picked a better cast for the film. I wish i could sit here and tell you about the scenes but i would ruin the movie for you. However, what i can say is that you have to take my word for it and rent it. I guarantee you will enjoy it. 3 words can sum up the movie...REVENGE IS SWEET! Rent it now...

September 9, 2003This is a very good film. For anyone raised in New York or any other major city, it will conjure memories of youth. The workings of Hell's Kitchen are at the same time intriguing and comical. The movie is filled with supporting characters that provide needed relief from the terrible subject matter of the rape of youths at the hands of their protectors. This movie is worth watching once; and once watched, you will watch it again.
