I am not the kind of person who watches bad movies and loves them for their messages, I did not enjoy Stop-Loss or Rendition. This move does have a message, but it does not lean on it in hopes that audiences will be so touched they will be afraid to criticize the film itself. It is backed up by a compelling story with some serious action to fit. This is by far the best MTV movie to date, which may not sound like much at first, but this film trumps many recent flicks, and that IS saying something because it's been a pretty decent year. I guess my overall point is that you can be a very picky moviegoer, a very sensitive person interested in the life of the less fortunate, or just your average movie fan, and love this film like I did.
I will add, this movie may look like it at first glance, but it is NOT about angsty teens, and it does not put "gangtas" on the pedestal.
