I loved this film as a teen. Yet I think I would get slightly bored today, because its a one of story and doesn't really narrate into anything contemporary.

MCT:November 30, 2007I am a S.L. JACKSON fan, but this movie disappointed me since he had a very small role. The movie itself was very slow, although I did manage to stay awake. A 12 year old takes down some druggies in a smart way but although I am blond and sometime need a picture drawn for me, I didnt understand the last scene with the boy and Jackson.... why were there tears in the boys eyes? It kinda left me hangen.

Great film from start to finish with great acting all over. Samuel Jackson plays a small part in this film but his character provides rationale for the strength and smarts in the lead character, the kid called Fresh. The final chess game between father and son at the close is priceless.

One of the best of the host of urban dramas based in the projects, an uncompromising tale of inner city violence and crime seen through the eyes of a 12 year old boy.

Any movie with Samuel L. Jackson using chess moves to dictate the strategy of the the main character is a badass film. This film is in everyway touching, witty, daring and intelligent.

The best black urban film around. The story is told in relation to a chess game and a young boys struggle to survive the streets dispite the crime and drug dealers all around him. Fantastic!
