Dodgy Dave

About This Movie

So, 'Dodgy Dave' is this gritty little drama that dives into some pretty heavy themes. It’s about a pre-teen who finds himself in the murky world of drug dealing, learning from the titular Dave, whose character is all kinds of morally gray. The pacing is interesting; it has a slow burn that builds tension, and the atmosphere is thick with unease. You can almost feel the weight of the choices that both characters face. The performances are surprisingly raw, especially the kid—there’s a real authenticity to his struggle. It’s not just about the drug trade, but also about coming of age in a world that’s less than forgiving. Practical effects are minimal, but they serve the story well, keeping the focus on character development rather than flashy visuals.
