Advantages: Never a boring moment. Keeps you gripped. Disadvantages: Squeamish moments.
When sitting down to watch this film I had no idea what to expect, I was told it was based on rival racist gangs. Which is basically what its about but I was not informed of the level of violence I was to expect. If you don?t like violence or your squeamish this probably is not the best film for you. I personally enjoyed the film, I did need to look away a few times though, the plot was well written and the lead actors portrayed their characters very well.
