This is an excellent movie about a kid trying to grow up and facing literally every challenge along the way. Michael, (Sean Nelson) a 12 year old drug dealer, is incredibly smart and uses this to his advantage to escape the almost inevitable fate (death) that takes so many of the other characters in the film. Fresh is a latent psychological thriller of a movie with a subtle layering that quietly builds until it explodes in the final scenes.
With Samuel L. Jackson as his absentee chess playing father, N'Bushe Wright as his cracked out but beautiful whore of a sister, and Luis Lantigua as his loudmouthed best friend, Fresh doesn't get much help throughout the film. In fact it seems as if the people closest to him are hurting his chances at a happy life.
But don't count him out just yet, this movie is completely unpredictable and satisfying in a plot-constructed way akin to Fracture or Psycho.
I've seen this movie ! definitely a goood movie worth seeing !
