This was actually produced in 2008, but is only now getting a release on DVD, so it’s been sitting around for a couple of years for whatever reason. It was never released in theatres. It’s called The Stick Up Kids – a title that’s new to me. Has anyone laid eyes on it previously? I’m guessing it played at a festival or two.
The story goes… Four friends who grew up together on the streets of Harlem will do whatever it takes – from armed robberies to elaborate con games, to get what they want. But for how long? One slumlord is determined to take over the neighborhood, and he’s not about to let some kids get in his way. The crew’s only hope to survive? A scam that’s more twisted and dangerous than anything they’ve pulled off yet.
From the trailer below, it doesn’t look too shabby.
