Today this is the new gangster movie
8 March 2003
I watched this movie the other night on a whim. Not expecting much from what appeared to be just another 'New Jack City" type movie, I figured it would pass the time until I fell asleep. Well I am here to say that I was pleasantly surprised. Breaking away from all the classic garbage gansta movies, this one gave a look at what might actually be the way the drug world is run. With a play on character names (Bugsy) and an ending that has "say hello to my little friend!" ringing in my head, this showed violence in a way that made sense in the context it was presented and an indifference for life that we read about all too much in the newspapers every day. So while this film won't find itself up for any academy awards, it is refreshing to see a new slant on what is a state of being in to many inner city neighborhoods.
