YMMV / Strapped

• Alternative Character Interpretation: Diquan's actions in the end of the film are rather questionable. He tips off McRae about the murder that Chucky committed in the beginning of the film, instead saying he did it. However, McRae is actually looking into the murder of the young girl in the deli, which Bamboo committed. Diquan gets sentenced for this, but it's unclear why he did it. Was he trying to avoid snitching on Bamboo in fear of him getting out again and coming after him and/or his family, or was he trying to avoid Bamboo period by going to jail, since Bamboo is presumably still on the streets, not being noticed by the police who showed up to arrest Diquan? Alternatively, was he trying to cover for Chucky, who probably would've been linked to the murder of the boy he fought with, and of whom he took the murder weapon from? Perhaps he was trying to do all three?
• Anvilicious: This film's MESSAGE!s are about as subtle as the gunshots given to several of the film's characters.
• Heartwarming Moments: Diquan and McRae bonding in the car over the former's plans for the future with Latisha and his baby and how he's too smart to not go to college is pretty sweet.
