Great movie, those who rate anything less know nothing about this lifestyle and what comes with it, sure a few things might be exaggerated but its a movie, and those who say it's so stereo typical, its a movie about drugs, violence in LA, where the vast majority is Hispanic, what do you expect and shia did a good ass job, in no where in the movie does it say he's Mexican, the directed said it himself, he's a white boy who grew up in the hood.
