I've always liked this movie. It really is sad to see Tupac. He was a promising actor, and this is a prime example. There is no doubt that he would have gone on to nothing but bigger and better things. This movie has a very real feel to it. The portrayal of civil servants (dept. of social services, and the police) is a times spot on, and at others way off. One thing that really stood out about the movie this most recent time viewing, is the lack of concern over "Strech"'s positive HIV status while "Spoon" is requesting to be stabbed to get into the emergency room. I just think "Spoon" would have been concerned about contracting HIV, as "Strech" was bleeding himself. More so, wouldn't this have come to "Strech"'s mind as well. I think the addition of some dialog regarding this would have been more responsible. Bottom line, this is a great movie that should be seen, 18 and up, and will remain in my library.
