Movie Description
Vivid documentary-like anecdotes focusing on a homeboy who is a sociopathic killer and another who tells the story of how their parents' lives also fed the cycle of drug use, casual homicide and monstrous, mind-numbing violence.
Synopsis
When Caine and O-Dog, two handsome boyz-from-the-hood, breeze into a Korean grocery, the anxious grocer and his watchful wife find their imposing presence troubling. Resentful of the sharp-eyed survelliance and air of suspicion around them, Caine and O-Dog yell epithets at the mom-and-pop owners. Angered by the shouting match and a remark about his mother, trigger-happy O-Dog shoots the grocers. On his way out, Caine grabs the videotape from the store's security camera. Back in the 'hood, O-Dog makes a boastful ritual of showing the tape to friends who find his recklessness funnier than amateur night at the Apollo. But it's just a matter of time before the cops catch up with Caine and O-Dog, especially since Caine's fingerprints were on the 40-ounce bottle he dropped at the scene of the crime.
Industry Reviews
"...A very flashy debut....Crackling ensemble acting..."
New York Times - p.C13 - Stephen Holden (05/26/1993)
"...Groundbreaking..."
Rolling Stone - p.121 - Peter Travers (07/08/1993)
"...Fierce, violent and searing in its observation, the film makes all previous excursions seem like a walk in the park....There is a poetry to the images that is immediate and visceral..."
Variety - Leonard Klady (05/17/1993)
"...As well-directed a film as you'll see from America this year, an unsentimental and yet completely involving story of a young man who cannot see a way around his fate..."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (05/26/1993)
"Along with BOYZ N THE HOOD, this marks the film world's awakening to a dark period of gang violence in early-'90s LA."
Uncut - Uncut Staff (09/01/2004)
