Feels like a home boy

Rating: 10/10 (12 July 2006)

I am impressed by Terrence Howard's performance in this riveting film. I was born in the South, and grew up in the South (thank God). I'm so impressed by his accent and admire him for coming so close to reality in mimicking the way a Tennessean actually talks. Not since Sissy Spacek, in Coal Miner's daughter, has anyone come so close to reality of the true Southern experience. Down South, we all seem have one of these types in our family tree. P.S. If you are one of the nouveau riche, you'll never admit it in polite society.
The casting was superb, the chemistry among the actors was great. I originally rented this film, but had to purchase it for my collection. This definitely will be a Cult Classic! Read the other reviews to get detailed information, I don't want to give it away for you. My favorite all time films are Scarface, American Psycho, The Color Purple and now...Hustle and Flow!
