Twelve year old drug dealer from foster home uses his considerable smarts to wipe out rival dealers, after the girl he fancies is killed. Vibrant film throbs with life, has several outstanding performances, a real feel for the time and place. Well edited by Dorian Harris.
Stars Sean Nelson (who was also in David Simon's The Corner). With Giancarlo Esposito, Samuel L Jackson, N'Bushe Wright, Ron Brice, Jean-Claude LaMarre (scarily intense).
Producer Laurence Bender worked on Tarantino films. Stewart Copeland wrote the music. Made with French investment (Lumiere Pictures), filmed in Brooklyn.
