Throw Down (2000)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

After six years with the Marines, Max Finister returns to the tough streets of the Bronx, only to find his childhood sweetheart, Lanette, and her little sister, Binita, entangled with New York's most dangerous drug lord. When Max moves the girls upstate and out of harm's way, he ignites the kingpin's fury for revenge. With the mob in hot pursuit, Max begins to suspect Binita is in far deeper than she has led him to believe. Max makes one last, desperate attempt at freedom for them all. What follows is a savage battle between a man desperate to save his family and a mobster holding on to his dark empire.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
