A very moving film

Rating: 10/10 (21 November 2005)

Ever since I have watched this film, all I have read and heard is that most places will not show the film because it "glorifies" violence or something to that effect. Sure, there are some very violent scenes, but nothing worse than what you would see in a Mafia movie. In my opinion, this film explores something which very few of us have or ever will experience. That is the feeling of true friendship, true camaraderie. I can say that in a way, I feel like Elijah's character because I am in the Army. With me and my crew, if one fights, we all fight. But, back to the movie. This movie emphasizes the fact that sometimes people can become disenchanted with their everyday hustle and can sometimes find the answer in the strangest of places. This is what happens to Wood's character as he meets Charlie and the rest of the firm. They teach him to keep his head up and stand by your friends. I would recommend this movie to anyone who has felt that feeling of true "blood friendship" before because it will hit close to home. And to those who haven't, I still think there is much to be taken from this film.
