I did, Cook. I thought it was fantastic. The tragic ending had to happen because it was realistic. It's hard to get out once you're in the criminal life, whether you're Italian-American or Black, the street will more often than not likely pull you back in. No matter how hard you try to get out.

Sad but factual, the movie was realistic and sent a strong message. Unfortunately, the message was probably lost on a lot of Urban Black kids, just like "Goodfellas," where the message was lost on a lot of Italian-American kids.
