About this product

Product Information

Set in Willet's Point, an industrial sprawl of auto repair shops and junkyards in outer New York City, CHOP SHOP tells the story of 12-year-old Alejandro (Alejandro Polanco), an orphan living a hardscrabble existence in the "Iron Triangle." The boy earns a meager living hustling customers into body shops, hawking candy on the subway, and helping to chop up the parts of stolen cars. But he dreams of a better life. When his older sister Isamar (Isamar Gonzales) comes to live with him, Alejandro devises a plan to escape their desperate situation: they'll buy a lunch truck that they can run together. Alejandro begins stashing money, and even indulges in criminal activity to achieve his goal. When he learns a devastating secret about his sister, it makes him more determined than ever to change things. But reality proves a difficult opponent in his struggle for the American dream. Full of naturalistic performances and exquisite handheld photography, CHOP SHOP shows a side of New York that is rarely seen in films about the Big Apple. Its characters, mostly immigrants, inhabit a landscape of rubbish-strewn alleys, deafening expressways, and rusted steel. Manhattan's skyscrapers and the stands of Shea Stadium loom forever on the horizon. Though some may find the film's unsparing depiction of poverty difficult to watch, the film is never hopeless, and the humanity of its characters always shines through. Altogether, it achieves an air of documentary-like authenticity that convinces the viewer that, long after the screen goes black, the lives of its characters will continue.

  • chop shop

    story could have been better but as in real life most people dont dig ther way out of the concrete jungle, just become part of it. the story must have been writen by an ex social worker raised in a upper middle class lifestyle because they focus on the negitive and clearly are lacking the street smarts that would have made this a block buster hit. if the creater of this story learned more about how real chop shops function secretly under the noses of society they could have woven the lives of these to kids into it making this story come alive.

  • Touching story

    Touching story about a kid and his sister,a bad plot but you can cry to the film if you want to, not all films have a good plot, but you can feel how dirty this film is made and you must agree with the plot that some folks have a hard time living an U.S. I stongly recommend this film to any peolpe who want to feel dirty and are not afraid to cry to a movie....
