In one of East London's most volatile neighborhoods, pride, rivalry and revenge are the only codes on the street. Touted as a British Boyz in the Hood, Bullet Boy is a gripping and authentic drama that takes an unflinching look at two troubled, street-smart boys. Fresh out of jail, 18-year-old Ricky (Ashley Walters, Get Rich or Die Tryin') and his 12-year-old brother, Curtis, struggle to walk the straight and narrow when a minor street clash escalates into an all-out neighborhood war. For Ricky and Curtis, friendships, family and loyalty will be tested to the extreme in a world where guns are a fact of everyday life and boys try to be men before they're even teenagers. Music by Massive Attack.

Parent Guide

A man armed with a pistol shoots a dog to death. Another man then uses his foot to push and roll the dog's dead body into a watery canal. In the day afterward, the body is shown still floating in the canal.

The bloodied and dead body of a man who had sustained gunshot wounds to the chest is shown being discovered. Blood spatter is also visible on the wall behind the body.

Stealthily a man armed with a pistol attempts to shoot another man to death, and uses a pillow with the intention of muffling the sound of the shots. Commotion ensues, and the pistol is discharged, but nobody winds up injured.

Capitalizing on the element of surprise, a team of shouting SWAT officers armed with high-capacity carbines and sub-machine guns raid an apartment and momentarily seize every person in it, including a woman and a child, but only a man winds up arrested with minimal struggle. No shots are fired and nobody is injured.

Two very young men wield baseball bats to meanly bust out the windows and lights of an automobile, also denting the chassis.

One of the characters is a man who has a large, gruesome, old laceration scar on the left side of his neck, which is clearly visible only a few times.

A teenage man and a little boy playfully wrestle with each other, the man pinning down the boy, yet the man also complains about the boy being in possession of one of the man's belongings. Not particularly violent.

A little boy armed with a pistol reflexively aims at and shoots a sprinting other little boy, the bullet striking him in the shoulder and leaving him squirming on the ground. The injured boy is shortly abandoned, but later he is shown laying in a hospital bed, almost fully recovered, and his stitched-up healing gunshot wound can be briefly seen up close.

When a teenage man is suddenly approached by multiple young men who had been hiding in wait for him, one of those other men aims a pistol at him and fires it multiple times. The bullets strike him in the chest, and he collapses onto the pavement, upon which blood can be seen. His dead body is shown in the morgue.
