This isn't just another drug dealer film, 21 May 2001
10/10
Author: allbell from kansas city, missouri

It's hard to summarize this film because the facts of the plot make it sound like a ton of other gritty heartfelt films about drug dealers in Hell's Kitchen. One difference is that it's a Hell's Kitchen film that gets the details absolutely right. These characters aren't rich college kids made up to look poor, appearing on million-dollar sets made up to look shabby. These are perfectly cast actors appearing in perfectly chosen locations. Another difference is that this is a deeply spiritual film in a quiet, haunting, non-preachy way. This is a film that will stay with you a long time and make you want to drag other people into theaters to see it.
