The Last Minute Movie Review 2001

Billy Byrne (Beesley) is the "next big thing" and subjected to an incredible amount of media hype. But when his latest project is considered a dud, he falls just as fast. Jobless, friendless, and hopeless, Billy is taken in by Anna (Corrie), a young ruffian living with a group of adolescents under the thrall of Fagin-like drug dealer Grimshanks (Bell). Billy gets sucked into this new world as easily as he was manipulated in the old one.
