GOD BLESS THE MAKERS OF THIS MOVIE:


I DON'R CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS ABOUT THIS MOVIE, BUT I THINK IT'S THE BEST MOVIE THAT BLACK HOLLYWOOD HAS EVER CREATED. THE STORYLINE IS AMAZING, AND THE ACTORS WERE ALL ON-POINT. THE GRAPHICS WERE HEARTSTOPPING, AND I WAS REALLY INTO IT THE WHOLE TIME. TO ALL THE HATERS OF THIS MOVIE: WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM? WAS THE STORY TO REAL FOR YOUR FAIRYTALE EYES? THEY SAY THE TRUTH HURTS, AND THIS MOVIE DID NOTHING BUT TELL THE GODS-HONEST TRUTH! IT'S A SHAME WHAT OUR BLACK MEN HAVE TO GO THROUGH IN PRISON, AND THROUGH THIS MOVIE, MAYBE SOMEONE WHOS IN A LIFE OF CRIME MAY CHANGE THEIR MINDS AND NOT WANNA GO TO PRISON. I BELIEVE THAT MASTA P IS TELLING A STORY ABOUT HIS BROTHERS EXPERIENCES IN JAIL. HE WANTED PEOPLE TO STOP GLORIFYING PRISON, AND PRETENDING IT'S SOMETHING EVERY MAN HAS TO GO THROUGH AS A RIGHT-OF-PASSAGE TO BE A GANGSTER...AFTER WATCHING THIS MOVIE, YOU'D BE A FOOL TO KEEP THINKING THAT! I WAS IMPRESSED AND HORRIFIED AT THE SAME TIME; IMPRESSED BECAUSE THE MOVIE WAS AWESOME, AND HORRIFIED BECAUSE I KNEW THAT EVERYTHING THEY WERE SHOWING WAS TRUE. I HOPE MORE YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO WATCH THAT MOVIE, AND WHEN MY BROTHERS AND MY SONS GET OLDER, I WANT THEM TO SEE THAT AS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT CAN HAPPEN IF YOU GET CAUGHT UP IN THE SYSTEM.

I agree with you... I'm suprised that the rating arent higher!

I especially felt sorry for the little dude that got raped... it was horrible to watch his transformation from young carefree and somewhat naive into some white supremacist's junkied bitch!

Then even worse to come on IMDB and find out he is locked up fro killing his aunts boyfriend!

reply

His name is Dre (Deaundre Bonds)the guy who got raped. Go back and look at the whole movie.

I always tell the truth even when I lie-Tony Montana (Scarface)

reply

His name is De'Aundre X actually...and his character Dre got raped not the real actor De'Aundre...it's just a movie and his multi-talented ass was Oscar-worthy! Don't forget that!!!!!!

I hope you don't have to point out to ANYONE that the actor didn't get raped.

I think this film deserves to get a rating around 7. I thought it was more than average, actually quite good.

Yea it was

Spoiler!

It's a great movie...

I saw it for the first time yesterday and I was just about to change the channel in the commercial-break between it and the last movie.
Thank god (and the fact that the batteries of the remote control are empty) I didn't change it or i would have missed a truly great movie.

But it has one major flaw, in the prosecution they show security-cam shots of the real car (the one owned by the guy who got lifesentence in the max-sec) this car is a convertible while the 3 guys drove a hardtop. Or perhaps this shows how stupid you americans are and how it is reflected in the legal system :D .

reply

The version I saw had the 3 guys in a Mustang convertible.

That was a great movie

Yes, it's a great movie. But there are just as many Hispanics in prison as blacks. Everyone serving time has it hard. Race has nothing to do with it.
I know because I've been in prison for a short time.
