The film has stayed with me for years. As someone who grew up in the projects in Brooklyn (and spent time with my aunt in the South Bronx), it hit close to home, as I knew guys like Fresh. Disney (by way of Miramax) had double massive balls putting this film out. Sean Nelson & the criminally underrated Giancarlo Esposito were totally snubbed of oscar nominations.
Totally agree! This being out of by Disney is pretty crazy. Sean Nelson 100% deserved an Oscar for this. Such a great performance. Giancarlo is just a god. He’s not the God but he’s most def a god.
Thank you so much for this review! It was highly entertaining and informative. Great perspectives! This was very helpful for my Critical Film Analysis paper.
When I first watched this movie I was so young and when he killed the dog stuck with me but I couldn't remember the name until I asked some people at my job if they remembered. I watched it again... and again and again and recommended it to others. Reminds me of my dad.

The Corner tells the story of how drugs hurt one family, while The Wire is the story of how crime and corruption hurt a city. Both shows take place in Balitmore, Maryland. The is also another show that goes along with these two NBC Homicide : Life on the Street.
We should be thanking you! A fantastic film, I can absolutely see why it’s one of your favorites! Thank you for the great request…I’m glad we did you proud.
@KisstheReviews Great review of a phenomenal movie. I remember seeing it for the first time after Samuel L. Jackson's career blew up after Pulp Fiction the same year. What a performance by Sean Nelson! What a cast! What great storytelling! Consider reviewing the French prison thriller, A Prophet. Directed by Jacques Audiard, starring Tahar Rahim. It's like if Fresh and Shot Caller had a French baby.
Light It Up is on the list! Have your friends sub and request it too!! The more requests a movie has, the faster we review it. *Yes, we are shameless whores like that. 😂
Just tried to watch this movie. I couldn't take anymore when the kid hung the dog by its neck to choke him and shoot him up with bullets for no reason. Too far for me...disturbing. thumbs down

08:50 yup Chucky is everywhere and the kid actor played it well 😊
Everyone has had a friend like this 😂
For real!! 😂😂
That ending scene was always so powerful 😢 he was holding them tears in for awhile.
Dude…for real!
Thank you so much for this review! It was highly entertaining and informative. Great perspectives! This was very helpful for my Critical Film Analysis paper.
That’s amazing! I’d love to read that paper. DM me on Twitter for my email address if you’d like to share it. @cory_idle 😬
The "dope moves" dialog was very necessary because it shows how dumb he was.
Very true…but so annoying. Thank you for commenting!
When you were talking about the chucky kid I died laughing. 🤣 I've never wanted to knock a kid out so bad in my life I was happy when..... nvm.
We are in total agreement with you. 😂 #MercyKill
So happy someone finally did a review on this movie this kid is also easily my favorite protagonist
Thank you! Totally agree. Fresh is one of the best movies we’ve reviewed. Thanks for commenting.
I’ve been waiting for someone on TH-cam to talk about this movie. Glad it was you guys. ☺️
Thank you so much! That is a beautiful compliment!! I can’t believe how many people don’t know about this film…it’s crazy.

Yeah, this movie is different! Still haven’t seen anything like it.
Killing the dog was it too much for me... it already had disturbing scenes...it's a no for me...could not stomach it after that
Looking around for reactions or reviews on my favorite movies and this comes up. Like you review and now checking out you older post.

19:01 - and even after they left Fresh hyped Chuckie up. I'm not sure why he did that instead of putting him in his place.
I think bc Fresh knew he needed Chuckie to play a role for his plan to work out. Fresh moved him around like a chess piece.
Thank you my brothers for reviewing one of my favorites glad that y'all enjoy

😂😂 Fair question
Chuckie is the living embodiment of Watch who you keep for friends!

Hi....can you review "CB4" and "Fear of a Black Hat"😘
Of course!! Love those films
@@KisstheReviews RIP Phil Hartman.....he was so funny in "CB4"
100% He was such a great comedian!!
@@KisstheReviews I also loved him in "House guest" with Sinbad
House Guest! Wow!! I haven’t thought about that movie in decades…😂
Just tried to watch this movie. I couldn't take anymore when the kid hung the dog by its neck to choke him and shoot him up with bullets for no reason. Too far for me...disturbing. thumbs down
It’s a rough scene and unfortunately true to life but try to fast forward through next time. The rest of the film is worth it.
