Flows nicely.....

Rating: 9/10 (20 January 2006)

Hustle and Flow is a very compelling and very satisfying urban drama. This movie has it all. Good performances, a solid script, enjoyable music, and just the right amount of humor peppered throughout.
DJay is a pimp and a drug dealer who begins to have a mid-life crisis. He's got his three Ho's, one is a stripper, one is pregnant, and the other is a country runaway. After hearing about a local rapper whose gone on to bigger and better things, Djay begins to reconnect with an old friend and his love of music.
In the process he changes his attitudes, & his views on life...channeling his newfound creative energy into his music.
Terrence Howard as DJay gives an incredibly subtly yet powerful performance. This one drug dealing hustler that you will hate to love. But you will love him nonetheless. And that my friends...is what good acting is all about.
All the supporting roles are fleshed out nicely and very well acted by the rest of the ensemble cast.
This is a powerful and rewarding movie. Hustle on down and pick yourself up a copy. You wont regret it.
Highly Recommended!
