REVIEW - 96 Minutes

It starts out with four teens in a car - two bangers who've hi-jacked it and two girls who came with the car. 

One of the girls has just been shot in the face by one of the guys. They're racing around avoiding the police, trying to find their way to a freeway, and arguing about whether to find medical help for the girl.

The shooter - a white sixteen year old jerk - is trying to get accepted into the other guy's black gang.

Then it dodges back and forth with their lives, and the day building up to car jacking - the guys are going to high school, about to graduate or flunk, the girls are in dismal relationships.

I kept hoping, in vain, that something would happen. In 96 minutes, nothing much does. Certainly nothing we've not seen before in a dozen movies.
