Despite having a somewhat weak cast, this is an incredibly poignant drama of one man's struggle to live a new life. Probably too violent and close-to-home for some.
Andre Gonzales (Rated: 5)
There's really no point to the movie. Just a lot of violence. That's pretty much it.

You could use this as a skinhead recruitment film because it failed so miserably in the message it was trying to push, and it failed miserably because they were too concerned about pushing the message that they forgot how they were framing the film.
So a bunch of skinheads win a turf war basketba...
