Features: DVD
 
With his pregnant girlfriend in jail, Diquan is running out of choices. He can either deal guns for cash, or turn informer and cut a deal to get her out. The trouble starts when he decides to do both. Now all the firepower in the projects is pointing in Diquan's direction--but he's ready. He's strapped. "Explosive.. Gritty... Pulls no punches." (Chicago Tribune)

Professional Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
"...Whitaker personalizes the scourge of firearms in America's cities. Bokeem Woodbine gives a breakthrough performance..." 08/20/1993 p.75

Leonard Maltin's Movie & Video Guide 8 of 10
Devastating account of an intelligent black teen, who has come of age amid the poverty and desperation of the Brooklyn housing projects. He feels he must do whatever he can to take care of his own, even if it includes selling guns and becoming a police informer. A searing portrait of urban hopelessness. Intelligent, richly textured script...
