Great movie, shows the struggles of a poor man

Rating: 7/10 (13 June 2018)

There's a problem or two that I might have with this movie, main one being that it's too short, but I think it represents so well how the life in the ghetto sucks. It just plain sucks. It sucks being poor, having no education, worrying about what you're gonna eat, or if you can get a minimum wage job, it sucks when you can't rely on family and friends, and when you get assaulted and the cops can't do anything. It shows so many struggles, and the main character just struggles with them and tries to cope... he's not some super badass macho alpha hero, he's just a regular guy who tries to live, just like many other people living in poor areas.
I think it needed a little bit more depth, or subliminal messages about staying strong and positive. This movie did have one, it was about taking care of his little sister.
I gave it a 7 mainly because I'm picky as hell.
