Thanks for the memories!

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

The film portrays the life (and death) of a few young afro-Americans living in Washington DC. It shows how two young men start selling drugs to make a living, even though one of them (in the beginning) is rather reluctant, his friend persuades him to get in on it. At first all is well, they're making lots of money and nobody bothers them. But it doesn't last, at some point it just starts going wrong. The two drug dealers both wants to get out. But once you're in it's hard to let go. And things just get more and more out of control. An excellent film all in all, as it makes a really important point as to why crime doesn't pay, why revenging a person by killing the murderer is incredibly wrong (which also, indirectly, takes a swing, and hits spot on, at the death sentence. And if after you've seen the film, you sit down and take a moment to think about it, the title couldn't be more perfect.

You might think that Morgan Freeman, one of the better actors there is, should be a bit more selective when choosing scripts. This script uses his name and face just to get sold. He has like 15 minutes in the whole movie and not counting the first two lines of speech in the movie, I think it took around 60 minutes before he opened his mouth.This is pure and simple fraud taking in count that Morgan Freemans name and face is dominating the case on the DVD.The movie in it self is, in my opinion also bad, bad acting, bad camera, since I personally don't like rap - bad music and really bad sound! On the DVD, you have one feature, scene access, on the Swedish version of the DVD you weren't even able to change language on subtitles even though there was a place on the menu for this!I read an interesting comment on it on a Swedish film site, this should be sold as a music video for the one and only (I think) rap artist that plays in the soundtrack.My advise to you all, avoid this film as long as possible!For all the two people in the world who might like this movie, don't despair, everyone can't have good taste.

The thief Drama is on probation, afraid to come back to jail, but he is convinced by a "brother" to become a drug-dealer to improve his way of life. He makes lots of money dealing drugs, but his career ends in a tragic way, affecting innocent lives in his poor community. "Guilty by Association" has a good premise and even intention, but its direction and the performances of the amateurish cast are simply horrible. It is impossible to feel sympathy for any character, including the policemen and the detectives, who have very weird behaviors. Morgan Freeman is one of my favorite actors and based on his name on the cover of the VHS, and not believing in IMDb User Rating, I decided to watch this film on video. Unfortunately, his participation in this movie is to give his name to the credits only, and attract viewers like me. Shame on you, Mr. Morgan Freeman, for such a crap in your recent filmography. Your fans do not deserve to be so disappointed with you. My vote is three.Title (Brazil): "Vítimas Inocentes" ("Innocent Victims")

I only rented the movie because Morgan Freeman was in it and it turns out he wasn't really in it at all. He should be ashamed to associate his name with this trashy effort - I can't even call it a movie. It is a shame I can no longer associate Morgan Freeman with quality films without first checking reviews. Thanks for the opportunity to trash this stinker. The doggie style scenes did it for my grown up daughter. It was the final straw in an already straw ridden catastrophe.
