My rating: 7/10
Will I watch it again? No.
I dig how the cameras are rolling and allow the subjects to talk and what's more are the slice of life scenes. Those are the best. It's like taking pictures at a wedding where on one hand you've got people posing, letting the camera capture moments they want to control while at other times the camera is catching people when they aren't looking and you're seeing life as it happens. It's an interesting and entertaining piece of time and place with two NYC gangs. Not much is spent on any criminal activity but more of everything else pertaining to what they do and why they do it.
