This movie sets up a dynamic of people and events in Miami, showing reasons for things to evolve as they do into the particular situation. The movie portrays an appealing entry into the life of crime and the glamor often associated with it. It's like seeing Grand Theft Auto play out in real life, complete with video game sound effects. However, unlike a video game, where you can simply restart a level and play it over, the movie shows there are times when there is simply no going back. After creating the framework for the setting, the movie sets the events in motion but then lets everything unfold naturally. After seeing the glamor, you get a dose of the flipside - the sleaziness and vileness of human nature, the underbelly, and definite cause for reconsideration. It's not as simple as all these "rise and fall" drug movies like Scarface or Blow - it presents an interesting moral imperative and life choices scenario and provides an invitation for reflection and insight, with "Eenie Meenie Miney Moe" being almost a question of when choices come back to you with consequences, and what those consequences are. I think teenagers should see this.
