Powerful

Good concept, poorly executed.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

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.

Let me start off first by saying, that just by looking at the cast I came to the conclusion that this movie would be terrible. But I decided to give it a chance, and I regret it because I wasted an hour and an half where I could have been doing something a bit more constructive rather than seeing senseless violence. The movie starts off with the introduction of the character Beans, a local drug dealer. Feeling frustrated with his mediocre street credibility, he proceeds to start knocking off the local competition.All is well until he bucks heads with Untouchable Jay, or some name along that line, and engages in a all out gang war. In the end he gets 3 life sentences, emphasizing that Beans is indeed State Property. I would write more, but I am staring to get a headache just thinking about this movie and the time I wasted watching it. And even if you have a hour and half to spare, go do something else, do not subject you brain to such mush.

This Movie is TERRIBLE, I heard it was terrible before I saw it, the acting was so unprofessional, it had NO plot or concept to it.It was like you took a video camera and video taped someone on a daily basis. I only saw about 5 minutes of it, and it was whack, it represents absolutely NOTHING, Belly was better than State Property.I hope they don't make a sequel to it, because it will get the same review that I'm writing now.This is not a rap version of Scarface, because I would be laughing if it was.

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.
