Besieged City (圍城) is a 2008 film out of Hong Kong.
The movie is about a group of teenage kids that are in trouble from both the mob and police. The movie follows a group of homeless kids that survive on the streets of Hong Kong. These kids eventually get in with the street triads. Trouble follows after this. The back story of 4 of the kids are explored. The brother of one of the homeless kids is dragged into the mess when the trouble begins.
The movie was both eye opening and disturbing at the same time. The movie presented kids that buck the trend and would rather go homeless than goto school. The parents of kids are not presented in a good light. In one case, incest is a major topic.
This actually reminded me a lot of a movie called "Kids" from 1995. The kids are wild with no adult supervision and they suffer the consciences of immaturity and bad upbringing.
This is not a happy movie. It is a dive into the darkness of lives that will end in tragedy.
