Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Aspen Orson There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

Horst in Translation ([email protected]) "Murder Was the Case: The Movie" is a 16-minute movie and still it has no less than 4 writers and 4 directors including Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg. This film was made 20 years ago and both were still fairly early in their careers, yet already acclaimed artists. I think the film's main problem is that it is so stereotypical. It is exactly what you would expect from a hip hop video: naked women, black gangstas and some rap music here and there. Oh and of course the great (un)spectacular shooting scene. Also it is probably not a coincidence that everybody in this film is black except the actor who portrays the Devil and who is white. So yeah, if you really love hip hop, the music and the culture, you may have a solid time watching this, but for everybody else it's not a memorable film in my opinion.

gangstahippie Rated NR(would be Rated R for Strong Violence,Language,Drug Use and Brief Nudity) Murder Was The Case is basically an extended music video/short film for the snoop dogg song of the same name.Im not really a big fan of Snoop Dogg though I like some of his songs.I sort of liked this song and I found the movie on youtube, so I watched it.Its only 18min long and if you get the DVD, the other 30min is of concert footage.Anyway, the film was nothing special.The plot is sort of hard to follow and the acting is alright I guess.From what I picked up from the plot, Snoop Dogg gets a girl pregnant.The girl's boyfriend then looks for snoop and kills him.While he's in the hospital, Snoop sells his soul to the devil, becomes rich but then Satan takes him back to the night he got shot and snoop gets arrested and stays in jail.Its worth checking out for fans of Snoop Dogg but don't expect an excellent film.Its a decent short.

Sccrream97-1 Dr. Dre directed this violent, supposedly "autobiographical" film by rapper Snoop Doggy Dogg about his fictional death, but it's really more of an excuse to make a extended music video for the title song, intermixed with live performance and interview segments. Far better than the other Death Row video releases, this is still only for nostalgic die-hard fans of Snoop when he was a Doggy, as it contains some footage of interest. Murphy (of Chapelle's Show), who plays Snoop's killer, is Eddie's brother. DVD special edition contains extra music videos by Snoop from his Death Row era, as well as "Natural Born Killers". Excellent soundtrack, of no real relation to the movie, is also available.

stargirlrk I bought the DVD to this movie, and although it had many ofSnoop Dogg's music videos and concert footage, the actual shortfilm itself was pretty bad. It generally centered around a shortgunbattle scene in front of a liquor store and it was pretty bad. Itwas unrealistic and wasnt very exciting at all. But thats it. Dontbother renting or buying this movie. The regular version includesthe 18-minute short film combined with 36 minutes more ofconcert and other footage for a total film length of 54 minutes. Butthis movie was bad. Even if you consider watching it at a friend'shouse, try to avoid this turkey and do something better with yourtime. AVOID THIS FILM
