Continuity: After Bill's angry visit to the boys' warehouse home, Oliver walks in and clearly sees Charley with blood running down his face. Charley says, "You just missed Bill," then points Oliver to the office where Dodge is shooting up. When the boys emerge, Charley no longer has blood on his face, although it is very unlikely he would have cleaned up in his zombie-like state. moreSoundtrack:

I've just seen this movie on the IFFRotterdam, and was impressed by the acting performance of Nick Stahl. Also the very good camerawork was a very pleasant surprise. It's quite a dark film, not only because it's a film about hustling boys, but also most of the film is shot in darker periods of the day, and i found it really well shot and well use of the diafragma of the camera. The story it's self was nothing special because it's based on Oliver Twist, but with a modern touch. The performances of the actors made it really worthwhile. Nick Stahl is a actor of a kind i expect to last long, and will be able move ahead in his career. He alone is worth viewing this film, very convincing, the way he walks, his look into the camera, his emotion when he has to do his brother....go and see it
