Straight Out of Brooklyn (1991)

05/22/1991 (US) • 1h 31m

Drama

More powerful than Boyz N the Hood. Truer than New Jack City.

Overview

A Special Jury Award winner at the Sundance Film Festival, this drama stars a then-19-year-old Matty Rich (who also wrote and directed it). Rich plays Larry, a troubled teen living in the rough Red Hook section of Brooklyn who decides he wants out and turns to crime to fund his escape. But his plan involves scamming the neighborhood's biggest drug kingpin, a heist that's dangerous at best.
