The film missed a wonderful opportunity to begin an analysis about the root causes of the violence cycle in which most inner city youth are caught. Instead, it focused on symptoms, entrenched structural response to those symptoms, and vague, tangential causation, allowing the problems addressed in the film to worsen to where we are today, which is close to the complete socio economic destruction of an entire cultural subset of our country.Today the film is just as brilliant, fresh, important, and devastating as it was 28 years ago.
Great to have FrankIvy back.
