A gritty, stylish crime drama with strong performances and a compelling storyline. Captures the intensity of the crack epidemic.
"Classic. Dope soundtrack. Nino Brown..come on now. 8/10"
An action packed, yet surprisingly intelligent 90's gangster movie.
Good crime drama, menacing lead, and a nice gritty look add up to movie that’s definitely worth a watch
Watched this 5-6 times and still like it after all these years. Just a good movie but a little dated now.
Great gangster film. Great cast and hip-hop, new jack swing soundtrack. Great homage to mob and blaxploitation films. Quotable as hell.
Lots of flash and style but a generic gangsta film without much originality or individuality.
Great commentary on the crack epidemic of the 80s’, along with the incredible casting choice of Nino Brown.
It was alright, it had a good 90s movie hype to it! But ultimately won't watch again.
Damn,the first half is fine af.After that, everything derails.I mean, everything.When It started i was like "this gonna be a favorite".Nope.
