The exact moment he turns his life around could arguably be seen during the party at Ronnie's house, in which he denies Anthony the chance to drink beer, like he got to as a child. Character Development: As he gets into more trouble and his romance with Ronnie develops, Caine starts to realize that the hood isn't as glamorous as he once thought.Anti-Villain: Caine after a certain point has been completely corrupted by the streets, but he still genuinely looks out for the woman he loves, Ronnie, and her son, Anthony, even committing some crimes specifically to make money for them, even if Ronnie doesn't accept it.Caine is a young man living in the ghetto of Watts, California, recently having graduated from high school. Running time: 97 minutes.The film's protagonist. A New Line Cinema release of a New Line Production, opening today at Showcase Cinemas, East Hartford and Berlin. MENACE II SOCIETY, directed by the Hughes Brothers screenplay by Tyger Williams, based on a story by Allen Hughes, Albert Hughes and Williams director of photography, Lisa Rinzler music composed by QD III production designer, Penny Barrett edited by Christopher Koefoed co-produced by the Hughes Brothers and Williams executive producer, Kevin Moreton. Rated R, this film contains a barrage of vulgarities and lots of point-blank mayhem with a profusion of sophisticated firearms. Sharp, slangly dialogue and intense action scenes also make this a watchable and often wrenching vision of the way too many young Americans live, and die, today. Pounding 'gangsta' rap also drives forward this tour of the projects and bungalows of Watts. Impressive techniques - a long tracking shot through a houseful of high teenagers, potent cross-cutting at the climax - make the Hughes brothers' debut impressive and compelling throughout. Finally, Caine's relationship with a single mother, bewitchingly played by Jada Pinkett, provides the lift that could change his life. A football-playing friend urges Caine to move to Kansas City with him, and there are also preachings from the teacher's son, a devoted Muslim. Dutton, sounds the warning that Ciane's life is on the line. The teacher, played with gravity by Charles S.

For a time, there is hope that Caine will escape.
