margolis-89619's rating
I recommend this movie as one that stands up 25 years later. It is written and directed by Sandy Tung and done so with great empathy for two brothers who both suffer from the loss of their father and the struggles of their mothers, yet do so in two completely different ways. The film being actually shot in Compton gives it a very real feel, rather than a cliched setting. The class issue is one that resonates today, as does the story of why a struggling adolescent can so easily fall victim to the criminal justice system, and how hard it can be for the single working mom. Considering the opiod epidemic, the growing struggles of working people, the hardship for so many to attend college, I found this film to be an intense viewing experience in 2019. Ricky Schroder was captivating. The tale was timeless.
