Good intentions, but subtle as a elephant's ass

My friends and I had a bitter dispute about this movie with me against all of them. I had some expectations about this movie that it didn't meet at all. The dialogue and script of this movie was amazingly melodramatic and unbelievable. Maybe in a kid's comic book, but in a supposedly critical film, this movie was just utter boredom and an eyesore for my eyes, taste, mind, and soul. I can't believe that this is the best an intellectual "urban" film can be. None of the characters had any character or soul (except for Muggs or whatever the convict/friend's name is that befriends the main character in jail). The filming was awful and pretentious. It's good if you want to showcase your talent for MTV with all the grainy blitz-and-shake documentary-style footage but it feels too much like a cheap commercial. The symbolism at the end of the "quick" sequences and at the 3 or 4 critical points in the movie were so cheesy I could make fifty double-double hamburgers with it.Altogether, a pathetic excuse for an independent flick. Watch "Fresh" instead.Oh yeah, I might be biased 'cuz I hate spoken word nonsense. And I didn't click with the showy references to hip-hop vocabulary. The main character was like a lame English-major freshman in college trying to show how cool he was.
