Damn cool movie
Finally a good gang movie, I've see a lot of them lately and thy all more or less suck, but this one was real real good.
Properly because it was based on a true story, that always makes a good movie. And Mekhi Phifer is or some in this movie, one scene was so so good, man he is becoming a great actor if you ask me :)
