over the last 20 year the majority of british film be about how horribly poverty stricken the uk be and how our youth doesn not stand a chance of a good life whilst they live on the mean street of british city . the british film industry be obsess with the idea of broken britain . trainspotting and this be england and kidulthood and football factory and kes and from london to brighton . bullet boy be just another british movie add to that list . the main character express a desire to go straight yet he still insist on hang around with dead beat who carry gun and fight with gang member over nothing . i be never convince that he do want to go straight a there be nothing stop him pursue an education or a trade . in fact it would have be a breath of fresh air if he have of go straight and we have a character who turn his life around . instead he spend his time help his friend try to commit murder . i felt no sympathy when he be predictably shoot by another teen at the end of the film and which be sad because at the beginning of the film i really like the entire family and their desire for success . i believe the maker miss a great chance to show the world that success belongs to those who be willing to really strive for it ( like the pursuit of happiness ) . i know the purpose of this film be to try and paint a realistic picture of what life be like for black teen live in work class area of britain but do not we already have enough film in the uk with that very same plot . isn not it time these talented producer and writer give britain youth something to aspire to and show them a good life be just around the corner . i applaud the maker of bullet boy for not load the film full of mindless violence in order to try and get success through shock factor ( like kidulthood and football factory ) but at the same time this movie offer nothing new to a long list of british film that be effectively dull and depress to watch . there be no happy end to this movie or any of the others i have mention .
