"I loved the fact that at the end of this movie there was no attempt to make everything end on a 'happily ever after' note like most movies. I think the topic of this movie was a very heavy one and so for that this movie isnt for those who are looking for a 'feel-good' movie...If you want that, look elsewhere...I love that at the end, it pretty much leaves things as some would call with no resolution...but thats life...real life cant be wrapped up in a pretty package with a nice bow and everythings peachy....Especially with a subject matter of loss of a loved one...It was a real movie with a real ending...I loved it..."
"This brilliant, realistic, insightful and tough film is a painful look into the black ghettos of Los Angeles. Very naturally acted, and with realistic situations, lots of guns, profanity and violence, but that is the harsh reality that some people have to face. There are no heroes and enemies in this movie, it's just a look into the lives of desperate people who are deep down looking for a way out. Great film. Also see the similarly themed 'Boyz N The Hood'. Extras: watch for Samuel L. Jackson in a small role. From a scale of 1-10 I give this movie an 8!"
"This film is good!!!! 4 ladies finally have enough of the tough life, and come up with a sceme to rob banks so they can get out of the hood. All I have to say is surpurb acting!!! Especially by Queen Latifah. She was just convincing as the lesbian tough gal. All the women in this film were great, and the movie was a good, good film."
