BABY

Billed as an Asian American version of Boyz N the Hood,Baby tells the story of a troubled 11-year-old kid with an alcoholic father and no mother. When local gangsters decide to “mentor” him, things only get worse. The real meat of the movie begins when Baby gets out of prison some years later and tries to get his life back on track. While more of a drama than an action flick, Baby is both powerful and violent. –dark abyss
