Surprisingly good storyline.

Rating: 8/10 (15 April 2005)

Being a fan of gangsta movies anyway, i thought that i would find this film enjoyable, expecting typical conventions like Blood and Gore, conflicting gangs, Crime, and a slick super-stylish main character. However this film actually follows a true story, and the main character, telling the story and managing to see all the different perspectives, a photographer. The movies has several story lines linking together explaining how it ended in the way it did. The movie follows a non-linear storyline going backwards and forwards in time, Rocket's life from being a child to his age in the story is explained in some detail. This movie is more than a gangsta movie, it is the story of someone's life in the slums and the lengths that people went to to get money. A must see,although it is in subtitles you quickly get used to reading them and stop even noticing.
