    Just finished watching this and while the movie might have lagged about 1/3 of the way in, it definitely picked up in the last 1/3 and I was surprised at the ending. What drew me to this film was the all Asian cast telling a story about the violent streets of LA - the variety of the character's backgrounds added to the film's flavor and diversity of its perspective covering gang life. Although the acting can at times seem amateur, the overall impression comes off as authentic enough. Worth seeing if you have the patience.
