Really? Based on a true story? It's about some young drug dealers funded by one of their dads. The little brother is innocent and cute, and believable as a woman trap. Still he's pretty dumb. The other guys however are more complete idiots. One of the thugs is impotent and perhaps gay. Homophobic slurs and insults are used liberally throughout the movie, but there is also homophobia driven self-hatred and violence. The story is yet another example of: get a bunch of teenage boys together, and they will just plain do stupid things.
It's weird how despite the guns, they manage not to kill each other outright. In strange scenes of vandalism, they pretend not to see each other. There is a weird restraint or truce in place, at least in the beginning.
A comparable drug dealer movie, Brick, is better. Not my favorite genre though.
