In this scene a white man is waiting on a fence and then two guys in a low rider who are part of a gang come and ask him what he is doing there and he says he is in California for holiday or business and they threaten him with a gun and take his money and phone. Then he goes to a leader of a black gang and asks if they were his guys that robbed him and that he was meant to meet someone but he never came or was late and then the gang leader takes revenge on the people that stole the phone.

ChatGPT is really good for these kinds of questions. Here's what it said:

The movie you're describing sounds like "Harsh Times" (2005), directed by David Ayer. It stars Christian Bale as Jim Davis, a troubled ex-soldier who gets involved in various criminal activities in Los Angeles. In one scene, Jim is approached by two gang members who rob him, leading to a series of violent events involving rival gangs. The film explores themes of crime, violence, and the challenges faced by veterans returning from war. "Harsh Times" is known for its gritty portrayal of street life in LA and intense performances, particularly by Bale.

Is it a good movie? It sounds good and Bale is always awesome in his roles.
