I'm watching teh film Light It Up now. About 20 minutes left. I'm surprised by how good, and how restrained this film has been so far. Well, some of it has been over the top, but for the msot part it's been very restrained in its handling of the subject matter. Which is a few students taking over a dilapidated school with a cop as their hostage after an accidental shooting wounded the cop. Mostly, it's a commentary about poverty and about police's treatment of people who live in poverty-stricken neighborhoods. I hadn't intended to watch it all, but I've been sucked in.
