The deep-rooted concerns regarding criminal-activity within economically-deprived areas are a lot deeper than what is shown within BOYZ N THE HOOD - for example, why do people do drive-by shootings? why are the police not assisting in these cases? what made the criminals become so dangerous (briefly shown in Ice Cubes character, but in no way fully explored). THE WIRE shows a huge amount of complexity and, bottom line, is that a 2-hour film can only show so much.Simon_Columbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2836661004273915348.post-38924836927458800532011-02-04T13:56:41.290+00:002011-02-04T13:56:41.290+00:00Damn - I can't remember the last time I watche...Damn - I can't remember the last time I watched this film.
