Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Newsense I love Beanie Sigel. He is the most underrated rapper out of Rocafella Records but this movie stunk like week-old roadkill. Beanie plays a bully who runs around with a group of thugs that beat up on people in their hometown and issue them a warning that goes "get down or lay down"! The main flaw of the movie is that nobody can act. Beanie is so laughable in his role that sometimes I crack up when he comes on screen. He is not the only one who should stick to rapping. Memphis Bleek's character was a riot for all the wrong reasons(when he shot a Beanie's car for honking the horn at him, I laughed so hard that I peed a little. Damon Dash and Jay-z are stiff as mannequins in this movie also. You cant tell that the director knew that this film was rank and told them to keep going anyway. The funniest part is when Beanie's lawyers tell him to cop a plea for a guy he just shot. Lol! His reaction was a hoot! In short this is a bad movie simple and plain. If you want to watch it to see how bad it is then fine. But you were warned.

me_39328 The humor was crude and funny. The main problem was the way the movie was cut and directed. Scenes started to early, so there was a lot of extra stuff were the actors were basically standing around waiting for the scene to start. There were also inconsistence or lapses in Continuity. Like the scene were a guy shots through an open window and blood spatters the window the bullet came through. Additionally, these or not Juilliard trained actors. They're rappers stretching their chops. Even with the director's problem, this was a decent movie. Jay Z's character was slightly retarded in his first scene. But he seemed to snap out of it.

omar_carbomb Yo this movie is crazy mad awesome. These cats is at the top of they game. Dudes on the street is Fianna be tell in embody they see to "get down or lay down"..."Cruz if you lay down, you Fianna stay down". Jay-Z's acting be top par in this. He should'veg won an Oscar, on the real. Damon Dash is amazing as "Dame" a REAL departure for him from his usual personality. Such a switch just shows how versatile he can be. An of course, Beanie Seagel is amazing as that niggard "Beans". He a mad savage cat on the come up, for real. Run out an rent this before it sells out an cats on the street Stout selling copies of this in little baggies. You can buy a scene for like $20 or summon. These cats is mad fabulous.

CovertEquation This movie was an excuse for Jay-z to claim he had something to do with the production of a a movie. This was one of the two movies I have ever seen that I couldn't finish it was too horrible. After seeing it, I asked someone to explain it to me, so here is what I gather. This Beans character is very down on his luck man, and would like to change this. He then starts out a gang called "ABM" which was later explained to me to mean "All aBout Money" why it wouldn't be AAM is just just depressing. Then he beats people up, and seems to be quite the hate filled individual. Then Jay Z shows up in a car for some reason then the movie was over.
