Majorthebys Charming and brutal

Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

chellereene This movie was a great hood movie that started off slow, but then took you right in.The actors played their roles well and it made you feel like you knew them personally.My DVD of this movie is crystal clear and the audio is good it's not too low or jumpy, it's smooth all the way threw.Also the story line was great,I mean it's the story line of a lot of movies but so what every one has it's own unique turns and twist and that's what makes every movie different and when you live in that life like me or it's around you then you can really related and if you don't money power and respect will still grab you in and you will understand the life. Not only me but everybody that I let see the movie want's me to get them one and everybody in Detroit loves the movie,that's real so keep up the good work and Jamal if you make part two cause you can the way it ended let a sista know maybe you can give a fly chick a part in it. Keep shooting for the stars you'll make itMichelle mcmurray

mlkhil I don't care who says what, I like this movie. I'm from the inner-city and this story is a mirror reflection on my experience, not with all the killing but the same pressures. The acting was amateur, but it really kept my interest. I also listened to the director's commentary. It is the director's first film, he shot it trying with some friends in two weeks and got a distribution deal. That's cool. I'm almost jealous. It makes me want go out and do something with my movie ideas. I hope he keeps it up despite some of the "nay sayers". African-American film makers are a so few and far between, someone has to tell our stories. I thing there's a spot somewhere in Tinsel Town for him.

reddmonster4 Garbage pretty much sums the film up... The director seems to have put a lot of bad actors together in a bad script, (which is all one long bad cliché.) A lot of the dialogue is just not believable coming out of certain actors mouths. One example, after the drug dealer is robbed by Levi and Drew on their first job together he all of a sudden becomes a wise philosopher and utters "what goes up must come down..." before he gets stomped and shot by Drew. All said this a great movie for any aspiring filmmaker to watch. There is a lot to be gained from watching this as far as what not to when you have a DV camera and are shooting a film with mainly friends. The director, Jamal Hill seemed to be the only viable actor in the whole movie he's definitely better in front of the camera than behind it. His camera technique and shot selection were a bit lazy and uncourageous. Too much tripod and not enough hand-held. All in all the screenplay should've been re-written and edited a lot more and the director should've taken better care in the casting aspect of pre-production. It would have helped the film ten-fold. The story itself has been told a million times in films. From Scarface to every bad 'Hood'or 'ghetto' B movie ever created. In the commentary the director mentions he had a 10,000$ budget amazing how so much money could be wasted in such little time. It was amazing however how the director could push such bad material into an hour and forty minutes. Bottom-Line if you want to make movies and are young and inexperienced this is a very good bad film otherwise stay away, unless you like to watch garbage.

refsp Oh yeah. It has bad actors, bad porn scenes, bad shoot ups, bad drug exchanges, bad everything. I don't know why I saw the whole thing, but I guess I needed to kill some time while cooking dinner. Either they're all crack heads trying to change course in life, or they're actors not worthy of they're titles. Drew is acting OK, but the main character should be expelled from further acting duty. The story is OK, but it seems like they have taken the common Italian Mob film, made a black ghetto version of it with minimized budget and low budget actors. I mean, even the "bling" looks cheap in this movie ! Naw, films like these just can't make it without Ice-T he he. Or, throw in Andre 3000 and make a decent comedy out of it, but please, don't do it like this. 'These clowns wouldn't last a day in Brandbergen', to quote a certain genius.
