New Jack

Rating: 8/10 (13 January 2008)

Nude people in the drug mixing room? Didn't I see that in the 1991 release of "New Jack City".
Was it a rip? I thought it was a nice touch anyhow...
The squalid apartment blocks is this were very gritty - you could almost taste and smell the human waste. How ironic that a black man fed so much poison (heroin) to so many black people and yet still managed to take his dear old mum to church every Sunday.
I wonder if his wife really was "Miss Puerto Rico"?
In the portrayal of "Bumpy Johnson" by Lawrence Fishburn in the movie "Hoodlum" he is locked into a battle of the streets of Harlem with "Dutch Shultz", played by Tim Roth. Did Bumpy really die of natural causes?
