There is a lot of violence in this though, and it serves to show a realistic representation but can be very brutal. The composition of shots too are done nicely, and complements the way the characters tend to travel in groups. The flashback comes in the beginning and establishes Caine's back story while creating sympathy for him. The Hughes Brothers perfectly place juxtapositions of scenes together for maximum impact. This film is well made and the directing shows it. It takes little to set him off and Tate does a fantastic job of portraying this terrifying character. O-Dog is represented as a bit of a psychopath with no remorse or conscience for life. The many close-ups show his confusion at times and at others, his indifference to violence, implying his slow immersion into becoming like O-Dog. As a young boy on the edge of adulthood and just out of high school, Caine has no direction in life, and even has trouble answering whether he cares if he lives or dies. Tyrin Turner does a great job portraying his character. The voice-over helps to gain some insight into his thoughts and is thus more humanized. He doesn't carry a gun, and his demeanour isn't that menacing. Though his character is not as unpredictably violent like O-Dog, and is somewhat mild. He was born into this society, and therefore is not to blame for his actions and choices. I find that this voice-over does wonders at making the audience sympathize with Caine's character. The film starts off with the murders at a convenience story, and introduces the voice-over narration of the story.
