Snowfall
If guns, drugs, and the occasional wrestler-turned-gangster are what you are into, Snowfall is your show. The final piece of art the late John Singleton gave us is a gripping drama about a young man named Franklin Saint (Damson Idris) who starts selling drugs to get him and his mother out of the ‘hood. That is, until it turns into an empire and he becomes a power addict who destroys everything he loves. Watching Franklin devolve into a prisoner of his power by killing one of his best friends to prevent a gang war and then killing the father of the love of his life to prevent being arrested is truly heartbreaking. There’s also enough drive-by shootings, cocaine smuggling, and sex to make this a great Grand Theft Auto-style video game in which you can either play as Franklin or one of the numerous members of his empire to see where this gangster life will lead you.
