    Editorial Reviews

    This drama, set in a gritty part of Houston's outskirts, pits brother against brother as the two men try to cope with their childhood family tragedy. Jason and Joshua are opposites. Jason, an ambitious young TV salesman, is the straight arrow. Joshua, an aimless coke-head and frequently jailed petty criminal, is the black sheep. Their father, Maddog was a bitter and maimed Vietnam vet with a penchant for battering his wife, Gloria. To protect herself and her sons from Maddog, she throws him out of the house. In the ensuing fight one of the brothers fatally shoots Maddog. Jason is in love with Lyric, a feisty waitress. As he courts her, his brother Josh plans a bank robbery with his gang. In the end both brothers must face their past and do so in a violent shoot-out. Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

    Ghetto Loveby True2Self

    April 22, 2009: Nothing beats ghetto love!!! Two people who know what its like to go through the hard times of living in a rough part of town and wanting to make it out in the world to have a better life. I can relate to this - real, true love between a man and a woman is a bond that's hard to break. This is my all time favorite love story, I can't watch it enough.
