Rated R, this film contains a barrage of vulgarities and lots of point-blank mayhem with a profusion of sophisticated firearms. Sharp, slangly dialogue and intense action scenes also make this a watchable and often wrenching vision of the way too many young Americans live, and die, today. Pounding 'gangsta' rap also drives forward this tour of the projects and bungalows of Watts. Impressive techniques - a long tracking shot through a houseful of high teenagers, potent cross-cutting at the climax - make the Hughes brothers' debut impressive and compelling throughout. Finally, Caine's relationship with a single mother, bewitchingly played by Jada Pinkett, provides the lift that could change his life. A football-playing friend urges Caine to move to Kansas City with him, and there are also preachings from the teacher's son, a devoted Muslim. Dutton, sounds the warning that Ciane's life is on the line.

The teacher, played with gravity by Charles S. For a time, there is hope that Caine will escape.
