Description:
Morgan Freeman lends a little gravitas to this gangster story about two drug-dealing partners--D-Mo (Daemon Moore) and Drama (Jeff Edwards)--whose friendship crumbles in the face of too much money and too much stress. Guilty by Association is utterly amateurish; the strangely paced and confusing storytelling is made even more confusing by the arbitrary use of cheap visual effects and bad sound design. Still, despite this--or maybe because of it--the story remains weirdly watchable if you pretend that this a clumsy dramatization in a documentary. Then the poorly constructed surface merely stands in for the real story, which the earnest but stiff acting is meant to evoke but not embody. Not everyone, however, will want to give the movie this much benefit of the doubt. Freeman has a few scattered scenes; his powerful presence momentarily gives the illusion that you're watching something credible. --Bret Fetzer
