Spare us the faux "street"! - Havoc review by Kurtz
Early Anne Hathaway vehicle which gives you the unexpected sight of PG fave Hathaway enthusiastically servicing her pretend gangster boyfriend then losing her heart and key items of underwear to a real one played by Freddy Rodriguez. Hathaway and her mates play an infuriating bunch of privileged teens who are obsessed with being “street” and “keeping it real,” taking occasional trips to the less swanky areas of town like tourists at Whipsnade Zoo. When the only characters with any integrity are Rodriguez’ bunch of murderous crack dealers, you know that it’s going to be tough to care what happens to anyone in the film, and the weak ending is lost in a haze of indifference.

Fugazi - Havoc review by AER
It's hard to know where the depiction of rich white kids aping hip hop gangstas starts and where the actors playing the former begin... The whole film is infected with the naffness of the rich kids. Sadly I think there may really be people like this in real-life - lost moneyed up kids who have appropriated the culture of poor hustlers that have been deified in movies and music. It doesn't make for a very good movie though - I found it cringe-worthy especially Joseph Gordon-Levitt's 'wigga' - he's awful. See if you can spot Channing Tatum in a very early role, and Tuco (Raymond Cruz) from Breaking Bad. This sh*t was wack and fake.
