My first impression after the movie was that is was touching, mostly because of the inescapableness of street life: Kids get affected by thugs and in this way become the thugs themselves.
It was cinematically very well done. The acting was great just like the music. But the plot could have been more...
The biggest disappointment was the overdone expressing of the streetlife in Londen. I'm talking about the over the top criminality. Now I'm not from Londen but I think anyone from Londen can approve that.
This was a real shame: Without this overdone criminality it would have been so much better. The story it self would feel more realistic making it easier to believe and emphathize with the plot and to think about the point of the movie. It would have made it a definite 8/9.
Now with it seeming a little far-fetched and also very negative, it almost seems like the story's playing in another dimension. Nicely made, decent plot and sadly too unrealistic. Great movie nonetheless.
