Jason (Sharron Corley) is an impoverished youth growing up in the slums of New Jersey. He and his pal Midget (Gabriel Casseus) get their thrills by stealing cars and taking them for joyrides. Eventually, the boys grow more serious about auto theft when they realize they can earn cash by passing off the lifted cars to black-market dealers -- which proves to be a risky way to make a living. Soon Jason finds himself on the wrong side of the law, and makes a dangerous enemy in his neighborhood.

3/4
A thoughtful, dense and ultimately sad mosaic of street life. Go to Full Review
Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Jan 1, 2000
3/4
The movie is expert on how cars are stolen (it takes about 10 seconds). It is also expert on how a smart and essentially prudent kid ends up inside a lot of stolen cars and gets into a lot of trouble. Go to Full Review

I was expecting this film to be very bad but was pleasantly surprised. This is the low level version of what was happening in NYC in the 90s. Go to Full Review
