Second viewing and it was a hard watch. Overall just a remake and best bits of all the other films disguised as a fresh new entry, except its not.

Rain and Andy as the two leads are perfect choices but the heavy use of characters with two thick British chavy accents is a hurdle I cannot get over.

The actors are not to blame, the Director chose this way and should have heard it early on. Its a poor film just made to pretend the director is a fan but why would a fan just remake the other films rolled into a greatest hits parade?

Will never be bettered in my lifetime and I am fine with that.

Urban sports drama at its finest. Tupac could genuinely act and I think this would have been a more regular job if he was still with us now. A great cast and a perfect movie for its time that fitted nicely on the shelf with the likes of Boyz N the Hood, Menace to Society and Higher Learning. Forgot Bernie Mac was even in it.
