Zig Zag

Año 2002

Sinopsis:

Louis (Sam Jones III) es un joven con autismo de 15 años que vive con un padre abusivo y drogadicto, Fletcher (Snipes). Louis trabaja como fregaplatos en un restaurante donde también tiene que soportar los insultos de su jefe, el señor Walters (Platt). Su único amigo es Dean Singer (Leguizamo), que para él es como un hermano mayor.

An autistic 15-year-old boy steals money from his boss to provide rent for his abusive father, who uses the money to repay a loan shark.

Dean Singer (John Leguizamo) has terminal cancer, yet is determined to spend his last days taking care of his 15 year-old 'big brother program' protégé, Louis 'Zig Zag' Fletcher. Dean got Louis a dishwasher job in shamelessly abusive, exploiting Mr. 'The Toad' Walters' (Oliver Platt) restaurant. Louis' dead-beat, neglecting yet abusive dad pushes him for 'rent' (actually to repay violent loan-shark Cadillac Tom), which Zig Zag gets by – stealing from Walters' safe, remembering numbers being his only talent. Singer is determined to return the money, despite excessive risks, with surprising allies.
