Amazing...

Rating: 10/10 (24 July 2005)

The Story, as an original screenplay, could be considered for an Academy Award. The acting is world class and Terrence Howard brought the type of performance that... Well, let's just say that he should be considered seriously for all the major decorations that an actor can receive this year based on a single performance... Seriously. The entire cast as an ensemble earned their checks!!! (Okay, Anthony Anderson and Ludicrous were okay, but they did their job). Bottom line... See this movie. There were people in the movie theater, at which I saw this film, that had interesting reactions. Several people were expecting a "movie" that was basically an extended rap video. If that's what you're looking for (50 cent fans), you will not find it here. This is a "film". Art. Truth. Maturity. The medium was definitely respected. (Make no mistake, there is some real grit to this film!)
See it.
