ARE YOU KIDDING ME--THIS MOVIE SUCKS

MODERN BLAXPLOITATION

This has to be one of the worst written movies i've ever seen. I am highly insulted by the ridiculous/fake dialogue. These people are supposed to be in New York. The sad attempt at 'ghetto slang,' and so-called realistic portrayal of 'life on the streets' makes my stomach turn. I am from the Bronx. Most oy family is from NYC. And my childhood/adolescence took part in the Bronx the early 90s. As a black person I am offended. This movie is a prime example of why movies like 'Hollywood Shuffle' were created--to exploit offensive movies like this. THAT IS NOT THE REAL "HOOD." BLACK PEOPLE DO NOT ACT AND TALK LIKE THAT. IT IS NOT NORMAL OR 'REAL' FOR PEOPLE TO SHOOT EACH OTHER OVER A BASKETBALL GAME IN BROAD DAYLIGHT WITH CHILDREN AROUND, OR FOR 12 YEAR OLDS TO PARTICIPATE IN DOG FIGHTS. I'm so tired of movies trying to normalize this type of sick behavior. this is where stereotypes come from. And if you believe the lifestyles presented in this movie are realistic scenarios, you're an idiot. GET OVER IT.

and by the way, the plot sucked. I'd have to write another post to address that (i.e. dangerous crack dealers trusting a child with all their information)...

OH AND THAT LIL SPANISH KID--"She be likin you Homes...I'm kickin the stupid dope moves"?!? what the heck?!? are they in fake south central or fake new york? No one talks like that. seriously, homes.
