Twelve

Great cast; (Meek Mill is a Natural). Ideal concept with flawed Directing & average cinematography with Only 1 maybe 2 characters enunciating a Baltimore accent. Really disappointed that Will & Jada Smith(Executive Producers) life long experience in front and behind the camera just totally abandoned the direction and editing of this movie.

Not everyone is about that life just cause they come from poverty and there brother was from somewhere some people have hidden talents that need to be out there and some find themselves down the wrong path and this movie show's that and what Meek Mill did at the end was something a real mann would do for a kid who isn't and would not survive and would never become his true passion and felt guilty about what happen and felt he atleast owed his friend that. Great Hood movie not everyone who adapts to their environment aspires to be a cold menace that the streets made them and some do escape. What was shown here wasnt hollywood it's real life. Some people have mentors in their lifes and some dont

There is very little one can find enjoyable in this film. It misses the mark in most cases, it's passable but very cliché ridden screenplay. Utterly stupid choices made by the characters throughout the movie just underscore the flaws in the screenplay. Cinematography etc is decent but it's just very empty and totally forgettable.

No need to watch this really.

The trailer doesn't do the movie justice. It's actually really good. At times I definitely felt "old" since I'm 28 and these kids are middle schoolers, but it's still worth watching. The movie ended up having typical hood movie lessons, but it was actually portrayed by kids, which made it more heartbreaking. It reminded me of Stand by Me, A Bronx Tale, and The Goonies, so if you like those films I would recommend this one.

Not a great film, but a good film. It has some really good ideas and a strong message that will speak to anyone who has grown up in the inner city.

I wish there had been more dirt bike driving and stunts, there is a very good scene that shows off some great action but because it is earlier on the movie slows down after that scene. If it had kept the pace of the action scene this film would of been the best action film of the year.
