The stylishly grainy B&W cinematography and DJ Shadow score risk fetishizing the down and out. But, fortunately, Singer establishes such an intimate (yet loose) rapport with these tunnel dwellers that the stylistic elements only aid our empathy by duplicating the suffocating darkness of the underground. Singer never fails to delineate between homelessness and hopelessness. Watch it as a double feature with C.H.U.D.

Yeah, if you have a worse life than these people then suicide is probably a valid option for you (I kid, I kid). This movie freaked me the fuck out! So damn gritty. Really makes you look at the life choices you have had and wander wether you will end up like this. Yeah, there was hope at the end but that's not the case of a lot. The DJ shadow tracks used is done perfectly. Brutal, powerful, moving.
