I enjoyed _Fresh_, in particular the way the repeated image of chess and chess players mirrors Fresh's machinations. However, I found it very difficult to empathise much with Fresh, apart from one or two scenes. Here we have a kid who we see dealing drugs and running errands for dealers and wheeling and dealing in a *very* adult manner; in light of this the ending was, for me, more than a little unbelievable. Overall though, I found the film enjoyable.
