Luckily, he's also got age on his side. Fresh is small enough not be noticed, smart enough to stay quiet and quick enough to avoid trouble, so he's sitting pretty. But life can still be rough for a little kid in the 'hood. When Fresh witnesses a murder, there's nothing he can do but keep his mouth shut, if he wants to stay alive. [More]

Though its morality may be controversial, the film, an impressive debut from Boaz Yakin, deserves credit for introducing a new type of protagonist, a ghetto teenager willing to do everything and anything to escape his lot.

Unlike John Singleton's by-the-numbers Boyz n the Hood, Boaz Yakin's Fresh doesn't rely on skeletal portrayals of life in the ghetto, or moralistic messages.

Without a fully-formed perspective on its protagonist, Fresh remains a picture that is more powerful and affecting in concept than in actual execution.
