Hustle & Flow is easily one of the year's best films

Rating: 10/10 (2 August 2005)

The story of a nobody, a nothing, daring to have a dream. Daring to aspire to be something more than what he is. More than what society says he'll always ever be. THAT is what Hustle & Flow is.
The main character is not perfect because life is not perfect. He's flawed. He's damaged goods. Just like the damn rest of us. But there is something deep within him. Something that wants more out of his life than to 'end up like this'.
Gritty, emotional, sometimes hard-to-watch but always real, Hustle & Flow captured the soul of the ghetto. That desperation for a better life that is intrinsic to all human beings. This film was awesome and Terrance Howard did an unbelievable job.
