Notes:
*This month I wanted to base what I watched mostly in the category for black history month.
*As this was something I came across I decided to check it out.
*The cast is interesting enough.
*It also looks and sounds like an interesting watch.
*Charles Stone III also directed Lila & Eve as well as Drumline which were both decent watches.
*This is the only writing credit for Azie Faison Jr., Austin Phillips, and Thulani Davis.
*Matthew Cirulnick also wrote an animated film for Eminem called The Slim Shady Show.
*There seems to be controversy about the script.
*Anyways let us see if this is actually good or not.
Pros:
*The acting was excellent.
*You actually care what happens to the characters here even with what they are into.
*The story is pretty good and intense.
*There are some great twists and turns.
Cons:
*The dialogue got a bit annoying with all the mans, B's, and such to be honest.
*I wonder if the script was hindered because it had been completely redone.
Verdict:
It's a pretty intense and intriguing story of the drug game in the late 1980s of Harlem. The characters are interesting with the acting making them feel full. It kept me interested from start to finish. I would say it's definitely worth a watch if you can deal with the somewhat silly dialogue. It's for sure the best I've seen from this director.
