As a young boy on the edge of adulthood and just out of high school, Caine has no direction in life, and even has trouble answering whether he cares if he lives or dies. Tyrin Turner does a great job portraying his character. The voice-over helps to gain some insight into his thoughts and is thus more humanized. He doesn't carry a gun, and his demeanour isn't that menacing. Though his character is not as unpredictably violent like O-Dog, and is somewhat mild. He was born into this society, and therefore is not to blame for his actions and choices.

I find that this voice-over does wonders at making the audience sympathize with Caine's character. The film starts off with the murders at a convenience story, and introduces the voice-over narration of the story.
