It takes a sneak peek into the life of a boy who wants to lead a sound life with his mom who's currently serving time in jail. That's where the movie scored for me, because generally I don't get that kind of a feeling for such characters (or the characters I can't relate to). It made me care for the protagonist even after knowing that what he's doing is quite unethical. It's not a tearjerker, but the way the relations are portrayed is quite touching. It's relatively realistic & way better than most of the crime dramas I've recently seen. It's not 'American History X', but it's close to that. And having just watched it, I'm glad I did. I know it's predictable, but still.) mentioned that it's a crime related movie, I was inclined to check it out. (Off topic, but Shakespeare didn't know shit when he coined "What's in name?") But when it came as a recommendation from one of the friends here (by mvieaddict, to be specific), & the review (which I fortunately didn't read fully. Now, the title itself is enough to prompt me to click on 'NOT INTERESTED'. Sounds like a chick flick (nothing wrong if you like that genre it's just that I'm not into that kind of movies in general).
