Wow! Such a good movie.

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Had to re-watch it today.. straight classic. So many goat artists in this film. If your a hip-hop fan you need to watch it.

I think the reason people have such a hard time relating to this movie is that they don't understand that this movie represents the lives of real people. Its such a contrast to how people who aren't in the hood live there lives that it comes off as a joke to them. This movie embodies some of the lifestyles led by gangsters in America. DMX is a questionable role. He is erratic, high strung and was probably high while making the movie. But the scene where he forces himself on to high partner is profoundly deep and all too real in life. Now ask yourself, who could have done it better? Nas is a poet. His closing lines were artful. Method man is just great in any movie. The cinematography and sound track were amazing. Hype Williams really never got the credit he deserved for making such a masterpiece.

I just want to say i have no idea why this has such a low rating, it should have an average of 8/10 not 4.8.I get the idea that not a lot of people have the ability to understand this type of film, but i do and i loved it. The plot in this movie is great as well as the acting i can not see any reason for such a low rating. i really enjoyed this film..Im not going to do a long review talking about the film, i just want to say this film is worth watching, the type of people that wont like this film have no reason to watch it, that makes obvious sense lol.It's an excellent movie!!Peace !From The U.K

I turned this off after 45 minutes (and maybe that lowers my credibility). Three Characteristics of a good movie are plot, cinematography, and acting. This movie s*cked in all three. The director seemed to admit how bad the acting was by having Nas narrate to give understanding to the characters (or lack thereof). Every single actor in that movie, besides maybe T-Boz, s*cked. I can't believe someone could recommend this s**t to me. The Visuals suck. The long flashy and colorful scenes make me afraid I'm gonna get a seizure. The cinematography made no sense, it was like watching a bad Hy-phi video (a double negative).In the matter of taste there is no dispute but I must say I firmly disagree with most of the comments made. It was so ****ing unoriginal. You can tell that these rappers want to do these movies to try to look bad a**. I can just imagine Hype Williams and the rest of the crew watching this movie and thinking it's some sort of masterpiece, when it was more of a mass-piece of s**t.
