Sadly Over-hyped
I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Pissing on someone over a dice game. Putting a snitch in trunk with rats. Funeral speech that will put you to tears. Fat dude talking about doggy style sex with an elderly woman at said funeral. Spitting on small girl outside of Papa John's. Gratuitous body mutilation scene. The Cam'ron Scholarship Fund For Crackheads. Two Latinas pooping out cocaine for 5 minutes. Two Latinas washing the cocaine they just pooped out for three minutes. Murder over spot in line at corner store. Corn throwing. Necessary 5 minute scene at strip club in Atlanta. Selling drugs to teachers and security guards.And finally... Cam'ron's ass crack. No homo.Easily the most entertaining film of 2006. Just watch it and don't really think about what's going on. It's way better like that.
Killa did a hell of a job with this flic. The plot was on point, and you've got to love this kid's swag. It's basically about Cam trying to get his money up by selling weed at first, but his connect, Gordo, gets him to push that white. Typical, right? SCCCHRRREEEECH! A sudden turn of events pop off when Flea's (cam) niece gets popped (shot). Then the film gets grimy! The acting was OK, but don't ask these close-minded Scorsese-addicts. There's more than one way to act....yet you wouldn't be able to tell by these bias responses.......Certainly worth ignoring.I can't wait for the next flic. The film ends with a cliffhanger, intelligently setting it up for the sequel. NOW.....I now return you to your regularly scheduled 'blind hate.' U MAD? :)
I would be wasting my time and anyone else's time on sitting here, typing in the details that makes this film a steaming pile. However, the film, like all films, whether it was a straight to video production or a theatrical release, deserves my critique on why this film sucks.Allow me to start with what worked in this film: the unintentional comedic moments? That's right. Moments and occurrences in the film that was intended on being serious, life altering in the life of Cam'ron, turned out to be hilarious. He was faced with a crisis decision where he had an opportunity to avenge the death of a loved one, but he made the right choice by not sinking deeper into an unredeemable, cesspool of the glorification of young blood being shed and other wrong doings. Instead, he makes a different choice but ruins it still with an uncalled for action (disgusting action rather) that was drop dead uproarious to me. The build up, surfaced by individual close-ups of Cam'ron and his potential, pint-sized victim, made it funnier than it would've been.On the other hand, everything about this film was pitifully awful.The writing was the worst. It must've been a script overwhelmed with uneventful moments, no structure, no character arc, no beginning, inappropriate pacing and literally no end. In fact, the film felt longer than it really was.The directing was pure amateur night at the Apollo, the talent that would get chased off by the sandman. I don't care if a film is low budget, it could still look good with substance in story, character, acting, etc. And the film isn't low budget in my eyes with SAG actors and a big Fresnel lamplight that was used outside for night exteriors, so there's no real excuse for the madness. So, with the proper knowledge of making movies, with zero dollars, it can still look good. The cinematography was way off most of the time with hot areas in the frame that was jarring to me few times. Also, the cameraman/director could benefit from understanding the Five C's of Cinematography (Camera Angles, Continuity, Close-Ups, Cutting, Composition) before calling for the poorly framed close-ups and two shots I was seeing. The editing was inept. The acting really sunk this film to a one star status rather than two stars.Amongst the entire cast and crew of this steaming pile, there wasn't a single person with some creativity? In this film I saw scenes similar to "Belly" and "Donnie Brasco." Even the DVD cover was reminiscent of his feature film debut, "Paid in Full." I can tell the filmmaker was inspired more by the gangster films he loves out there rather than his own life.The girl that played his childhood friend was the worse actor in the film. Then his boys were making me sick, with their lame jokes. They made me feel as if I was watching paint dry. Then he (Cam) ruins the end by making it without one. Vomit.I can go on and on but this film was so bad that it's really not worth my time. I feel as if I sunk a level for even taking the time to rate and comment on it.
Not a good movie, but I couldn't stop watching it! There was just a lot of comedy in the fact that everyone was horrible at acting. They need to just stick to rapping! If you enjoy horrible acting and corny exaggeration in a story, then this is the movie for you. Reminded me a lot of the Master P movie "I'm Bout it". I woudld only suggest this film for fans of Cam'Ron and Dip-Set. It is fun to watch your favorite rappers in film, even when its not a good film. It also tells you a little about how they came up, and how they got started. I don't know how much of the story is true, but I like to think it is exaggerated a little.
