Disappointing Ending
I didn't care for the ending. Granted the writers wanted to give a gritty true to life feel to the movie, and they attempted this by giving an ambigous ending, but the whole premise of the movie, at least I thought, was to show that no matter where one comes from, no matter the circumstance, you can change your life for the better. Xtra made such an effort to better his life, and in turn attempted to better the lives of his siblings and his son. He had vast potential, and the Hive showed him what he could do with that potential. I wasn't expecting an over the top happy ending, that would have watered down the movie, however, I would have preferred to at least see him graduate in the end rather than SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER
have him standing out in the night surrouded by the 6/8 gang and their guns, fading to black without us knowing whether he lived or died.
