Blech . . . I hated this, basically


I just couldn't get very interested in any of the characters, and there were too many characters for the little that happened to any of them. A bunch of weakly developed improv-like scenarios, in my opinion. 3/10 from me . . . lowest score I've given something in awhile.

I rather liked it. There weren't any more characters than a lot of street-themed movies. The kids were all very realistic and the cinematographer made them photogenic. Stathis Papadapoulos is really quite engaging, and easy on the eyes too. Sorry you had a bad experience.

Yeah, it wasn't just that there were a lot of characters, but "too many characters for the little that happened to any of them" for my tastes. I don't care about "realism" when it comes to films, so that wouldn't help. There was nothing wrong with the way anyone looked onscreen, but that's not enough to sustain a film, in my opinion, lol.
