Terrence Howard is Absolutey Mesmerizing, Intense, and Engaging!

Rating: 9/10 (24 August 2005)

Hustle and Flow will keep your attention from beginning to end. All of the characters, especially "DJay" portrayed by Terrence Howard is sensational. Djay is a Memphis pimp who rediscovers his dream of being a rapper. With help from his childhood friend, Key, played brilliantly by Anthony Anderson, he embarks on his mission to get his rap music on the radio airwaves. With a wonderful supporting cast, which includes Taraji P. Henson (best known for her portrayal of Yvette in "Baby Boy"), Elise Neal (from the television series "The Hughleys"), Paula Jai Parker, Taryn Manning, Chris 'Ludacris" Bridges, and DJ Qualls, those who dislike Hip Hop will find themselves silently cheering DJay on. The year 2005 will be remembered in the acting community as Terrence Howard's Year. This intense, underrated actor is finally getting his long, overdue share of the spotlight. Terrence Howard who resides in Philadelphia, uses his seasoned acting skills to mix Philadelphia Soul with Memphis Sound to create a Hollywood Hit. After seeing "Hustle and Flow," be sure to see him in "The Four Brothers," "Crash," "Their Eyes Were Watching God" and "Lackawanna Blues."
