Review of Fresh

Fresh (1994)
9/10
Very good ghetto film
8 April 2010
Fresh was one of the many urban ghetto films which came out in the 90's, around the same time gangsta rap was at it's peak.Films like Boyz N The Hood, Menace 2 Society & this film showed the dangers of urban life, while other films such as Friday showed that it could be fun.If you dislike these types of movies, you may still like fresh.It is actually a fairly smart film with a good storyline, acting and some funny moments as well.The film is centred around a young twelve year old drug dealer and his relationships with the dealers he works for.He is actually a very smart and calculating child and hatches a plan to end all the drug dealers in the neighbourhood.The score by Stu Copeland is great, however they could have incorporated some early 90's hip-hop/rap in the film.Some may like it better if it didn't but I find that it adds to the whole feel of the film.Anyway, if you like urban ghetto films, you owe it to yourself to watch Fresh, it is probably one of the better ones.
