After the deal turns sour, one of the boys ends up dead and another--Johnny Miles (Mekhi Phifer)--is sent to jail for a crime he didn't commit. Five years later, Johnny is out of jail and back on the streets of his old neighborhood, trying to piece back his life by training to be a boxer. The only problem is that the murdered boy's sister (Angelina Jolie) stills blames Johnny for the death of her brother and wants her new boyfriend to kill him. A dark tone and over-the-top melodrama highlight this gritty urban tale which features a good supporting turn by Jolie. [More]
