Bullet Boy

Product Description

In one of East London's most volatile neighborhoods, pride, rivalry and revenge are the only codes on the street. Touted as a British Boyz in the Hood, Bullet Boy is a gripping and authentic drama that takes an unflinching look at two troubled, street-smart boys. Fresh out of jail, 18-year-old Ricky (Ashley Walters, Get Rich or Die Tryin') and his 12-year-old brother, Curtis, struggle to walk the straight and narrow when a minor street clash escalates into an all-out neighborhood war. For Ricky and Curtis, friendships, family and loyalty will be tested to the extreme in a world where guns are a fact of everyday life and boys try to be men before they're even teenagers.

Universal problems........2006-08-21

Made by BBC Films, this has something of the feel of well made television drama. The story is simple, and quite familiar, but still manages to raise questions as to how a person's decisions are not radically free - perhaps an obvious point, but one that seems to bear repeating, especially given the context, namely, a released convict from an underprivileged background. For Ricky, starting afresh means rejecting not just his own past misdeeds, but also his friends - and rejecting his friends (whatever there unfixable faults) is not just difficult, it also comes close to being immoral, so Ricky is truly torn.
*
The influence of family is also well presented, and some of the gaps speak as loud as the presences, for instance the lack of a biological father in his life. The social realities are shown matter-of-factly and the film stops well short of being preachy.
*
Curtis, as the twelve year old brother, is a charismatic figure, as is his friend Rio, but some of the other actors struggle to bring their characters to life - at times it's a little bit too obvious that they are 'acting'. The camerawork, editing, and music all have a suitably 'realistic' English TV aesthetic.
*
Perhaps not a classic, but worth a look.

Realistic gun defense.......2007-07-08

I took a very critical eye into this DVD. I have over 10 years of martial arts background, including 2 years of krav maga, including close quarters gun disarm tactics. I found this DVD superior for the following reasons: the techniques I think work. Plain and simple. The instructor clearly understands all the complexities of gun disarms. He has no "easy answers", but he offers techniques that work. He uses a "get inside the circle" concept which to me makes a lot of sense, and which to me mirrors what the Israelis learn in krav maga (Israeli military martial arts). The instructor in this DVD clearly understands all the complexities, and still offers concepts and techniques that will work. He understands how gun attacks work in the USA: the attacker demands your money, you give it to him, and he still wants to shoot you (this happens all the time in the US). I highly recommend this DVD.

The Best Video Made!.......2004-12-30

This movie is indeed in my top 3 best movies ever made. The acting is superb, the action and comedy is non-stop grabbing. The only part that threw me off was the random shot of two kids on bikes near the end of the film, was there a reason for this shot? I think there names were Rusty and Ryan, great actors with potential. I give this movie a 10 out of 10.

Absolutely hilarious.......2003-06-28

This is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen.

Just see it........2002-03-25

My favorite movie. A life of crime has never been this exciting, this fun, this gripping, or, eventually, this painful.

This one should have been a BLOCKBUSTER!.......2000-09-05

Don't miss this one. This movie should have been a blockbuster! Very intense with great story line. This movie deserves a sequel.

Well written, good photography, super ending.......2000-07-19

It's nice to get a break from the Hollywood Blockbusters once and a while. I read about this film in the Hollywood Reporter; this film was shot for less than a quarter of a million dollars. That's an inde!

The film isn't extremely unique, nor does it have the best acting of all time. What it does have is a group of talented people who took an idea that has been done a million times and did it better than most in recent memory. I stongly believe it's under-rated.

Product Description

The subject is Advanced Gun Disarmament and Weapons Retention the most important martial arts tactic in "street level" SWAT work today. Why? Because 75% of all cops who are shot in the line of duty... Are Shot With Their OWN GUN! That means criminals are wrestling guns away from cops and shooting them. The bad guys are getting so good at advanced streetfighting, that even the best-trained cops in the country right now are helpless as kittens in close-quarters combat in the street. Even when the cops think they are in control of a situation... they quickly end up eating one of their own bullets. That's why this incredibly advanced (and very secret) seminar is in the works. Cops all over the country are demanding immediate training in taking weapons away from criminals...and keeping their own weapons from being taken away by criminals.
