The movie had some good resources, especially the presence of Ethan Hawke and Wesley Snipes, who did their best... but the script is so bad.
Waste of good opportunities and lots of melodramatic useless montages, lots of 'hood' words but not much decent action. The dialogues try to be iconic but result only in waste of time as the characters do not have a true powerful backbone to backup their dialogue.
I found the attempt to attach themselves to the Katrina disaster a distasteful display, just as a device to try to give depth to the movie, but resulting in trivialization of it all. Overall, bad script, too many flimsy image characters, waste of resources and time.

It shows a very partial picture of things. Includes some supposed cults (because easy targets, visually, e.g. Osho) while leaves out some real and active cults (e.g. Scientology) out of fear and general opportunism. Just easy or obvious targets without goung deep into why cults exist and how come people nees them in this consuneristic world. Shallow overall and kind of an exact copy of what Explained had already done (still shallow). To give it intelletual depth they should have shown more points of view and not only people piling up with such an absolute predetermined and similar outlook on things. The creators act with the same absolutism of cults themselves!
Very disappointed. It seems that fear dominates hollywood comedy writers rather than the fun bone!
Not edgy at all, not realistic even! These are not kids from the 90s. They think it's the 90s just because they show the mall and blockbusters every once in a while... The gay kid is accepted by all with no conflict, and it was not that way back then. There were real struggles.
These are stereotypes of nowadays (2020s) teenagers with colorful clothes, that's all.
The old actors do a good job, but since it is about the kids rather than getting few laughs from the fans of That's 70s Show, it is very disappointing.
These writers dare not write comedy anymore: shameful display.
