1.
HELL'S KITCHEN tells the tragic story of a group of New York City youths whose involvement in a drug deal ends up haunting their lives. After the deal turns sour, one of the boys ends up dead and another--Johnny Miles (Mekhi Phifer)--is sent to jail for a crime he didn't commit. Five years later, Johnny is out of jail and back on the streets of his old neighborhood, trying to piece back his life by training to be a boxer. The only problem is that the murdered boy's sister (Angelina Jolie) stills blames Johnny for the death of her brother and wants her new boyfriend to kill him. A dark tone and over-the-top melodrama highlight this gritty urban tale which features a good supporting turn by Jolie.

When a drug deal goes bad, three friends make a fatal judgment that puts one behind bars for a crime he did not commit. When he's finally paroled, he finds himself back in his old neighborhood, where grudges are held, battles are fought and drugs provide the only escape. Certain that there has to be a better way, he tries to turn his life around -- one truth, one friend, one punch at a time. But old grudges die hard, and his past still has the final say over his future.
Mekhi Phifer (8 Mile), Angelina (Girl Interrupted) and Rosanna Arquette (Pulp Fiction) star in this gritty take on life in the fire of Hell's Kitchen.
