BILLED as "Kes with guns", this slice of gritty urban Brit-drama has much to commend it.
Straight out of youth custody, Ricky (Ashley Walters, aka Asher D) is determined to stay straight even though his running mate Wisdom (Leon Black) wants him back in his old ways. Close to home, Wisdom bumps a car and is drawn into an altercation with some other young guns. It's a confrontation that quickly spirals out of control with Wisdom drawing Ricky back into his world.
As a portrait of contem-porary east London, there's
little to doubt Bullet Boy's accuracy.
The message is bleak. Bleak but real - Nick Churchill
