An above-average story of four "boys in the hood."
Commanding performances mesh with solid storytelling
A Hitchcockian moment in an elevator is perhaps the film's signature set piece.
the first time we really get to see tupac's talent, and he plays a truly vicious character in this film. in this lifestyle things can turn quickly, and the film shows us a great example of how the wrong kind of friends can be the death of any of us.
