Fresh

A twelve-year-old drug courier navigates a dangerous Brooklyn neighborhood shaped by rival dealers, violence, and limited choices. After a devastating event changes his outlook, he draws on his intelligence and lessons from chess to develop a risky plan for protecting his family and escaping the life around him.

My take

You’ll like this if you want a tense, thoughtful crime drama about a resourceful young protagonist, especially if you enjoyed Menace II Society or Boyz n the Hood; Not for you if violence is difficult to watch.
