I remember the previews in the theatres and wanted to see it there, but it was in Seattle for like two days or something. So I was at Best Buy last week and picked it up. For some reason white gang banger pot head movies have a special place in my collection (American History X, Fast times at Ridgemont High, Detroit Rock City, Dazed and Confused, etc.) The intro credit sceens try to convince you these are just neighborhood kids playing cowboys and indians like veryone else. Then you get dropped into the reality of small time drug dealer and his possee and rivals. While that stuff is interesting (especially all the tatoos), the most interesting part of the story is the second part in the relationship between the “stolen boy” and his captors. The drug dealer kidnaps the brother of a guy who owes him $50K and holds him for ransom. But not tied to a chair and tortured as you have seen before. The “Stolen Boy” is broght along to all the parties, he is very much ok with it saying “I don’t want to cause my brother any more trouble”. Stolen boy makes friends with his captors, gets laid, high and has a good time. That makes what the captors have to do in the end all that much harder. There is real drama and soul searching, not expected in a gang banger movie. Very enjoyable. I rate this 4 of 5 stars.
