what impressed me the most

Rating: Null/10 (11 February 2004)

is they had only a budget of $3.3 million. even US independent films have an upwards of $10m or more in their purse. this film showed alot of heart, from the wicked cuts to the overhead angles, it put you right in the thick of things. it was gritty, it was intriguing, it was subtle yet straight to the point. very powerful piece of filmmaking, and about the violence, I believe that the filmmakers showed it quite well. they used their flashbacks really well, and I was overly impressed with the whole scheme of the movie.
