Movie Info

An inner-city London youth, Ricky (Ashley Walters) has served prison time for a stabbing but is trying to turn his life around. Ricky's hopes for escaping the brutality of his neighborhood quickly diminish, however, when he and his friend, Wisdom (Leon Black), get into a minor incident on the street that escalates into a feud with another young man. When Wisdom fuels the conflict, the situation gets increasingly dire, and soon further violence seems unavoidable.

Audience Reviews for Bullet Boy

  • Oct 25, 2006
    Realistic acting and a harsh reflection of the gun culture amongst Britain?s youth in this time. The realism perhaps made the film lack a little excitement and as a result was failry slow moving at times, so although this is more of an average rating, it's acting is perhaps much better than that.
    Lady D Super Reviewer

    Ashley Walters is the real find here in a film which probably has more in common with Mike Leigh than John Singleton.
