Seriously, what was the point of this movie? I know the original goal was to make us all feel sorry for the main character because he's DEFINITELY just a product of his environment and has no accountability for his actions, but literally every character in this film is awful. Just absolutely terrible.

It opens with this dude "O-Dog" killing a guy because he says something he doesn't like. Then he takes a tape of the footage and shows it to all his friends throughout the film. He's meant to be the funny character; he never gets caught, and he faces no repurcussions.

The main guy is also a really bad human being. Murders people, gets a girl pregnant then leaves her, just a total dog. The description on Netflix says it's about a black youth trying to turn his life around, but it's actually just about a thug being a thug, and we're supposed to feel sorry for him when he gets his ass shot at the end.

There's only one really notable scene: He gets pulled over by some cops who "profiled" him, and it becomes this whole racial thing, until you realize that he was driving a stolen car. They make this huge deal about how cops pull over black youths, but the guy stole the goddamned car and was driving around in it. He also robbed another black guy earlier in the day. The other dude's like "lol why are we robbing and killing each other" or something and he doesn't give a shit, takes the money and beats his "brother" up.
