Director Jacob Tierney takes inspiration from the Charles Dickens classic Oliver Twist in this modern-day drama about gay street life in Toronto. The innocent Oliver (Joshua Close) is drawn to the hustling Dodge (Nick Stahl), a savvy kid with whom he hooks up after running away from yet another foster home. Oliver joins Dodge and his pals, who sell their bodies to eager customers -- all under the watchful eyes of their pimp, Fagin (Gary Farmer).
Netflix Rating: 3.0
Rotten Tomatoes: Rotten 16%: Consensus: Despite of its contemporary setting and some strong performances, this is a bland retelling of Oliver Twist.
