Decent drama and controversial for obvious reason. I can see this story holding a lot of truth, as kids become the product of their environment and the realism is high. The setting looks really good. Pushed to give it a 6 as I didn't really find it to my taste but its well made.

An uncomfortable watch . Brooke Shields mother should be ashamed of herself. How on earth did she allow her 12 year old daughter to do this movie. Shocking

So.... why one star? Because, honestly, it's boring. It kind of does to New Orleans' red-light district what Reds did to John Reed.... sucked all the excitement out of the story in an effort to make it artistic.

It's well acted, but it's weak on plot, weak on story, weak on entertainment.... but, More
