Bullet Boy (2004)

In the heart of East London's most tempestuous district, honor, competition, and retribution are the unwritten laws of the urban jungle. Bullet Boy, often likened to a British rendition of Boyz in the Hood, offers a raw and unapologetic portrayal of two troubled yet streetwise brothers navigating the labyrinth of life. Ricky, freshly released from prison at just 18 (Ashley Walters, Get Rich or Die Tryin'), and his innocent 12-year-old brother Curtis, find themselves ensnared in a web of violence when a trifling street disagreement spirals into an all-consuming neighborhood battle. The brothers are thrust into a crucible of adversity, where their bonds of brotherhood, family ties, and allegiances are stretched to breaking point in a world where firearms are as commonplace as corner shops, and boyhood is prematurely eclipsed by the harsh realities of manhood. The story pulsates with the immersive rhythms of Massive Attack's music.

Bullet Boy is an action movie featuring Ashley Walters and directed by Saul Dibb.
