This movie has to be the most realistic ghetto movie I've ever seen.. the profanity is there because that is really the way people talk. Boyz In the Hood had a sappy plot and and a sappy storyline in it that was full of preaching and unrealism. the main character always makes the right choices and comes out good and everything. Menace is much better because while the main character does have some good in him, he cannot break free from the harsh society he and his parents were trapped in. The whole movie hits you and scares the hell out of you because it is truthful and this is actually what people do. If anybody out there is enough of a moron to give this movie a bad review, I'd like to know why.

Now this is the real Europe portrayed! I don't think there's a single camera shot in the movie which isn't beautiful.. the overhead views of the european cities are grand and picturesque and the photography is always good.. Only an idiot would be stupid enough to say the film was boring with car chases like that and an intelligent plot like that. The film is very good for an action film and unlike other ''hardcore'' action films like Die Hard or ''smooth and chalant'' action films like those Bond movies, it doesn't rely on tons of high tech gadgets or explosions every 10 minutes to capture the viewer's interest.. In my opinion if there is anyone who thinks this movie is bad they must have serious brain damage.

The movie itself is good and at least a 3 star effort with great acting and all but the real element of the film is its photography and soundtrack. The shots of the school mixed in with the music give it a sort of urban jungle feel and the colors are very good. The gritty blue at the start is very good and the movie doesn't really exaggerate about how bad its students are. Like other teacher movies it doesn't try to show the teacher reaching the kids and them finally loving him or some corny unrealistic stuff like that. It is a very good film and should be watched because of its story and its uniqueness
