A well-done film, the actors were believable for the most part although the main white antagonist overacted here and there, the cinematography solid usually, with parallel flashback scenes stopping just short of too long, so okay, and the story was interesting. Following is a short summary, revealing no more than that on the back of the DVD, so no worries, relax, I hate having films ruined for me as well. The basic plot revolves around a group of four friends and one of their romantic interests, the Little Red of the title, an ostensibly cute girl (don't expect Meagan Good) and sister of a boss dealer. Due to circumstances, Little Red becomes a drug queenpin, count it, and the three friends not romantically interested become her goons, the three little pigs, with her man the planet to these dirty satellites, their communal decisions resulting of course in a conflict from which change springs.
The post above is both disconcerting and disappointing, in that it speaks for the common element of the American cinema demographic that will accept only a trite happy ending, (the Departed vs. Infernal Affairs for example) however I say nothing of Little Red's ending, but regardless, film is about freedom of expression, not the fulfillment of formula, however such formulas do tend to exist due to established norms of success, and thus are they really norms, or exhibitive of something else? Either way, the film was good, check it out, in the vein of Boyz n The Hood or Juice but Baltimore based and more independent. Also, on the extra features watch the original short-film (calm down, it's not a bit long like Napoleon Dynamite's, just about the length of a music video) based upon the impetus for the feature, the poem/rap Little Red; the short had a nice style.
