Prosecutor (New Jersey Drive)

Strike, surprisingly, is a misunderstood hero in the movie Clockers.

He is played by Meiki Phifer.

Even though he is a drug dealer who does some questionable things, it's his clear his desire is to escape and search for a better life. It's clear throughout the movie.

And though he does questionable and lies to Rocco a few times, his motives are not selfish at all. He's not doing it to continue his life the way it is. In some way he hopes he can escape.
