This is the story of a tough teen who goes from the suburban street gangs to a maximum-security prison cell surrounded by hardened criminals.This is a pretty good movie. one i enjoyed watching. it keeps you interested in his story and the outcome.from how he get to where he is to his time behind bars and what follows. this is one of those movies that leaves you thinking a little better about the world when it finishes. its well made and has enough grit to be realistic without upsetting the audience with anything . in the bracket of worth watching/decent is where i'd rank this movie

Yet another moralizing "boy-on-bad-path-comes-to-reflection" story. There are probably several such individuals of whom a story could be told. Despite the fact that this is a story based on true events, it is a film stuffed with cliché elements. It will be an inspiration for some, but that was the movie "Life of a King" with Cuba Gooding Jr.. too. Only the latter was more convincing and credible. James Burns looks more like a member of "The Backstreet Boys" or a modern parody of James Dean, with his clean-shaven appearance and perfect hairstyle. Hopefully the air conditioners worked on maximum in the cinema, so that they didn't need to evacuate massively fainted teenage girls.
