Bullet boy is a film set in hackney - london and it follows an 18 year old boy just as he comes out of prison and the impact he has on his family.

he is dropped straight back into a world of crime and after missing a meeting with his parole officer he has just one more chance to stay legitimate or he will go back to jail. however he is dragged into doing some illegal things by his friend, out of loyalty and guilt. soon he is in too deep and his, his family's, and his girlfriends lives are in danger.

as an older brother he is a very strong positive influence on his little brother cutis and his illegal actions rub off on curtis. after curtis finds his gun and shows his friend, he accidentally shoots him. the family home is raided by the police, and eventually ricky is shot in revenge of his firends actions.

i think this film makes a very strong statement about crime, and how it effects more than just one person.
