Title: 3.5 stars; initially unfocused and unbelievable, gets better by the end.
Product review: Initially, this movie appeared to be another "hip 'n' edgy" indie film about angsty twenty-somethings; even with the contrived plot twist of abandoned kid Rasheen, it just didn't feel believable.Then, in the second half of the film, the characters and their stories began to show some depth and complexity; by the end, I cared about these characters and was moved by the outcomes to their conflicts and challenges.In a significant side note, the deleted scenes on the DVD add a tremendous amount of depth to the characters' stories and personality, especially Rasheen's too-good-to-be-true little kid. Too bad these scenes couldn't be included in the director's final cut. (a couple were superfluous, but most of them added to the story).
