Nick (Ben Crowley), a white mailroom clerk who rips off his coworkers' credit card numbers on the side, moves to a mostly African-American neighborhood and is terrorized by a local gang called the V-Dubs. He befriends K-Luv (Anthony Mackie), a black gang member to whom Nick helps sell bootlegged CDs, and they soon build a relationship with Lincoln (Ken Leung), a low-level Chinese gangster. But tension becomes palpable as the trio begin committing crimes on one another's turf.

Tim Goodman San Francisco Chronicle A wholly original, restlessly real take on San Francisco gang life... Sucker Free City has the kind of non-Hollywood take on urban trouble that proudly makes it cousin to The Wire on HBO, and there really isn't any higher praise than that. Rated: 4/4 Nov 14, 2018 Full Review Don Willmott Filmcritic.com two excellent hours Rated: 3.5/5 Mar 17, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews
