You do the crime, then you have to do the time. That seems to be that way for the leading roles in Dead Presidents, Boyz N’ the Hood, Doing Hard Time, Paid in Full and Menace II Society.

Anthony Curtis didn’t want to work for “the man” anymore. Doughboy was just trying to protect his little brother. Caine wanted to make enough to leave the ‘hood behind. But they all wound up paying for their mistakes.
