Entertainment Reviews:
...An ultimately devastating panorama....Delicate and sympathetic work from both [Esposito and Jackson]...
New York Times
Rating: 3.5/4 --
The script by writer-director Boaz Yakin is fresh itself, marrying the physical violence of Fresh's world with the intellectual violence of competitive chess.

Chicago Tribune
Glibly shocking, it would like you to think it deals with the hard realities of urban life, but in fact it uses its patina of social consciousness as a come-on for the most conventional kind of violent commercial filmmaking.

Los Angeles Times
A gripping story of survival on the streets and survival of the soul.

People Magazine
Rating: 4/5 --
The absence of moralising and macho posturing gives authenticity and poignancy to the film.

Radio Times
...Here's a movie filled with drama and excitement, unfolding a plot of brilliant complexity....The movie is well constructed...
Chicago Sun-Times
Though well acted, and handsomely shot by veteran Adam Holender, Fresh sacrifices real emotion for thriller contrivances. It's a tourist's drive through inner-city hell.

Product Description:
In this critically-acclaimed action drama a street-wise 12-year-old boy devises a dangerous plan to rid his neighborhood of its two competing drug dealers and save his sister. Using the type of thought he learned from playing chess with his father, the kid plays the thugs off one another, makes sacrifices when necessary, and wins the game. Winner of the Filmmaker's Trophy at the Sundance Film Festival.
