Ventnor Film Society presents Bullet Boy (certificate 15, 89 mins) at The Ventnor Winter Gardens on Tuesday 7 March 2006 at 7.30pm.
Fresh out of prison, Ricky (Ashley Waters) is trying to stay clean, but he owes a debt of friendship to his best friend, Wisdom. In this gritty contemporary drama, we are taken into the inner-city world of young black mean and the allure of guns, with the enevitable consequences of violence and human cost. Dibb’s downbeat, unsentimental treatment gives the film enormous power.
Director: Saul Dibb, with Ashley Waters and Luke Fraser.
