Boaz Yakin isn't the most well known names in film. He's really something of a writer-for-hire for the most part. The vast majority of his films have been studio projects where he was simply brought on board to bring some studio's idea of a marketable project to life. He's made very few movies that have been... More personal, you might say. Fresh, however, is his crowning achievement, and a must see movie downloads for your queue.
Yakin wrote and directed the film after going into exile for some years. He was disillusioned with all the crummy studio work he was getting, all the uninspired, formulaic movies that were really just being made to sell more tickets and put more money in the studio exec's pockets. He decided to leave Hollywood and not to come back until he had something to say. Fresh, then, is certainly saying something.
The movie is named for the titular hero, Fresh, a young boy who works as a drug mule for various dealers around town. Two of which are at war with one another. So how does he keep his head above water when he would certainly be killed if one boss found out about the other? Well the twenty to fifty dollars he makes per run, he hides it in a coffee can by the railroad tracks and... After a couple years of running drugs every day for twenty to fifty bucks a run... That adds up, and the things you can do with that money if you're smart...
Fresh spends each weekend playing chess with his father, an alcoholic genius who's become estranged from the family. The chess serves as a metaphor for the scheme Fresh is hatching, as well as a sort of Greek chorus scene for the audience and for Fresh himself.
Think of it as Fistful of Dollars set in the ghetto. When a girl Fresh has a crush on, as well as a childhood friend, are murdered in a random shooting by one of the drug dealers he works for, Fresh hatches a plan to take revenge on all of the pushers and scumbags he deals with on a daily basis, freeing himself and his family from the clutches of the drug dealers.
His plan is to basically take down all of the scumbags who have been controlling his life and free himself and his family from the clutches of drug dealers. The brilliant part of this plan is that, because he's just a child, they never suspect a thing. He plays chess with them in real life, and it has to be seen whether or not he'll come out on top.
The movie can be brutally violent and shocking, which drives home the reality of Fresh's situation. The villains are truly menacing, especially the young thug who typically gives Fresh his payments and is in a perpetual state of planning to kill somebody. Fresh is a hero who manages to remain pure, knowing where he can compromise and where he cannot.
It's a rare film that works this well with such touchy subject material. The film takes a child of ten years old and puts him into a Fistful of Dollars/Yojimbo style plot, scheming and plotting his way to victory over deadly, menacing criminals. It's incredible how delicate an operation this is, to make the movie exciting and suspenseful without selling short the reality and truth of the subject matter of real life street violence.
