Summary: Violent movie, but worth watching
Review: Great performances by Wesley Snipes as Nino Brown, drug lord, and Chris Rock as Pookie the crackhead...Ice-T wasn't very convincing to me as a cop, but I still liked the film. It had its humorous moments...plus some disturbingly violent ones as well. It put me in the mind of "Good Fellas", another crime-themed movie that is hard not to watch. The ending was somewhat predictable but all around worth checking out.

Summary: HOT EXTRAS!
Review: hey kids, siva here. i have loved this movie since it came out. i especially enjoy how they tried to resurrect the career of former brat packer judd nelson. i mean, they failed, but at least they tried. anywho, the good parts about the film are the violence (yay!), the drugs (yay, yet again!), and the g-funk soundtrack. but the best part about this film is the extras in the background. many extras get overlooked, but there's one extra in the new year's eve scene sitting next to the lovely michael michelle who is especially hot. if you look closely, you'll see a dapper young asian man, and well...he's tasty! anywho, i also liked russel wong. so watch this movie!

Summary: Good movie
Review: I know some people did not like this movie, but I loved it. The film had me hating some characters and loving others. Ice-T played his role well in this film. The scene that still gets me to this day is when he gets Pookie from that crack house. The other scene is when he is with the drug lord, and finds out HE is the man responsible for his mothers death. That scene was deep. The film has a good cast, Mario Van Peebles, Wesley Snipes, Bill Nunn, Allen Payne, Vanessa Williams, Micheal Michaels and some other folks. The film really hipped you to how bad the drug scene is in the inner city.

Review: I like the pace at which the story in this movie was told. It's not blazing fast so you pick up on all the little things. The acting from all is done very well. Ice Tee is a beliable cop, I appericated how he wasn't shown as some perfect cop, but he wasn't bad either. He was human, which added to the realism. Westly Snipes delivers a stunning performance as Nino Brown. I think everyone should watch this movie and Sugar Hill back to back. Westly is great in both, and it's amazing how oppisite the drug king pin character he plays really are in those 2 movies. New Jack City is gritty and real. And much like Scarface, you'll be left with a feeling of just how crazy life can be.

Summary: This move isnt nearly as great as people make it out to be..
Review: I love hood movies and as far as acting, writing, characters and sheer believeability go, this movie ranks way below films such as Boyz n the Hood, Juice, Clockers, ect.Besides Ice T's (Scotty) and Snipes (Nino), all the other characters seemed so false. Even though those are the two main characters, if all your other characters arent believeable, the whole movie falls apart. The chief of police is like someone out of a cartoon. Chris Rock (Pookie) isnt funny and does his part no justice. Mario Van Peebles is a joke Apparently a drug syndicate is able to take over and entire apartment building in NYC...for years!! Its amazing isnt it. They can ride up in a drop top jeep and shoot people point blank in the head in broad daylight and not get caught. The story is just so hard to swallow. Also the cinematography is really sub par. There is no artistry in any of the shots even in the dialogue. It also seems like the entire movie moves too fast for the events that are supposedly taking place. There are no subtle nuances at all in this film. I would say dont waste your time, the movie isnt really exciting at all, the performances are boring as is the plot. Go watch Juice.

Summary: ''ALWAYS BUSINESS, NEVER PERSONAL''
Review: ICE-T LAUNCHED HIS FILM CAREER WITH THIS MEMORABLE 1991 CULT CLASSIC. THIS MOVIE FOLLOWS THE LIFE AND TIMES OF A DRUG KINGPIN NAMED NINO BROWN [WESLEY SNIPES. NINO THINKS HE'S UNTOUCHABLE BUT THREE STREET-SMART COPS ARE WORKING ON A BIG PLAN TO BRING NINO TO JUSTICE. THIS MOVIE IS SOMETIMES ACCUSED OF GLORIFYING DRUG DEALERS, BUT THAT'S NOT EVEN THE CASE. THIS MOVIE WAS MADE TO SHOW THE DANGERS OF BEING A DRUG DEALER AND IT SHOWS WHY DRUGS ARE ILLEGAL. THERE'S GREAT PERFORMANCES FROM EVERYBODY IN THE CAST. PEOPLE SHOULD REALLY PAY ATTENTION TO THIS FILM'S POWERFUL ANTI-MESSAGE. THIS MOVIE INSPIRED MANY IMITATIONS AND CLONES.

Summary: Awesome Movie
Review: If you liked Scarface, you'll probably like this movie too. It gives u a first person perspective of how the crack game works and the consequences of getting involved. BUY DIS FlICK!

Summary: Shines in on an overlooked subject
Review: It shows alot of what most people don't dare imagine, but what makes it great is that it's somewhat real... alot of what is shown does exist and needs to be exposed. This does does not glorify the drug-culture in any way.
