Summary: It took them long enough.
Review: It seems that HBO is releasing all of their original programming on DVD nowadays, so I was disappointed that this miniseries seemed to be one of the exceptions. I ignored it when it first aired; I just didn't think that I would enjoy it. Well, I caught one of the repeats and was hooked. The subject matter is not for everyone, but if you're interested enough to be reading this review, you should love The Corner. It's very well done.

Summary: Excellent! It's about time.
Review: Like others reviewing this film I have been waiting a long time for this to be released and to have it come out on dvd is a real treat.This is the best depiction of in the hood drug addiction I have ever seen.It's real and not commercialized like Hollywood urban films are.It's not about gangs and thugs shooting each other up. It's about going against the odds and making the best out of the life that was given to us.I see this as an important document that makes you think and feel what it is like to be bound by addiction in more ways than one.Masterfully directed, there's something here for everyone to relate to.You don't have to be Black,you don't have to live in the hood, being human is enough to understand everything that goes on in this film.Very entertaining.

Summary: An honest to goodness Masterpiece!
Review: Seldom do you find a film that makes you feel as close to the characters as this one does. If I could put into words the range of emotion you will feel when viewing this series, you would purchase this set without hesitation. Though it is true that this is not for everyone, those who can deal with the harshest realities of life will be blown away by the gritty "in your face" approach of this Mini-Series. You will find yourself hoping with all your heart that Gary or Fran will "straighten up" and get it together, only to realize that they are not pillars of strength and are sometimes doomed to fail, even before they start. The most disappointing thing about the series is that it ends. As you progress through the episodes you will gradually begin to dread the inevitable end, and it will leave you hungry for more.

Summary: No words Could Express
Review: This was the most intriguing, mind-boggling, and soul reaching show I've ever watched. I truly appreciate the people, who showcased it, and even more the ones who it was based upon. Thank-you, because that was as close to the corner, that I would ever get. Once again, I thank you all so much, because, personally, I never knew it was that hard for addicts. This is most definitely worthy of an Oscar. It would also, make good for more than a six episode t.v. series.

Summary: Deep and Honest
Review: What an honest portrayal of how the corner really is, there is one in every city. It is very sad how America has this war on drugs that will never end. At least I don't see it. I grew up on a corner just like this one in Woodside Projects in Queens. Watching my mother become victim to the corner. Jumping out of cabs,stealing food for us to eat and why????? Because she wasn't aware of help or drug programs. Call this an excuse but really it is not.I truly believe if someone had reached out and touched my moms she would have been alright. That's why now that there are more educated young African-Americans we should give back to our corners. Educate the less fortunate,show them how to do better. If we don't take matters into our own hands "THE CORNERS WILL KEEP ON GROWING"

Summary: Anyone of us
Review: When I first saw this miniseries advertised on HBO I made a committment to see every episode. I live in the Caribbean and have been able to see what drug addiction does to people but this miniseries almost transports you right into West Baltimore as if you knew the people and the neighborhood. This feeling is a sense of familiarity for those of us who has been exposed to the devastation that drugs do to families. The characters were superb! I continue to see Khandi in CSI and she is still doing a good job. However, I must say splendid directing by Charles Dutton for bringing to us the harsh realities of life faced by many coping with and enduring drug addiction. I hope to purchase the DVD set to show to my children what the world is about and the impact certain negative influences can have on your life. There are many of us who only hear of these situations but have never really witnessed or seen it for we avoid the areas most afflicted with the problems by taking the highways. Let truth be told that three things knoweth not color or social status and they are drugs, sickness and poverty. I would especially recommend this series to anyone with children, it is a real eye opener!!!!!!
