Storyline

Jason and Midget are two young, black teenagers living in Newark, New Jersey, the unofficial car theft capital of the world.

A thoughtful, dense and ultimately sad mosaic of street life.

RTChicago Sun-TimesJan 1, 2000

The movie is expert on how cars are stolen (it takes about 10 seconds). It is also expert on how a smart and essentially prudent kid ends up inside a lot of stolen cars and gets into a lot of trouble.

A startling look at a black gang in Newark.

I couldn't connect with this. I have seen better films that depicted life in the struggle like this...
