WTF. What else can you say. There have been alot of movies.There have been alot of hood classics.
There are legitimate movies that moonlight as hood classics, such as Menace II Society, Boyz Da Hood, the usuals, you know Belly, Paid In Full and Set it Off.
Then you have movies that aren't hood classics because everybody from outside the hood went to see them as well, like American Gangster, Training Day, uh whats another one. King of New York, New Jack City. The list could not only go on but I am sure people might actually like to add other movies into a particular category. For example, I left out Juice and New Jersey Drive and Clockers. All decent movies, great cast and memorable scenes and appearances but generally either before their time, in terms of the overall acceptance of urban culture going mainstream, or people have their opinion on what a hood classic is.
Before we go on I will get this out the way. I am not including comedies and dramas in this. One would agree that The Best Man, The Wood, and Love Jones are far better movies than Booty Call, I'm Bout It and Straight Out of Brooklyn. But I'm sure you could make a case, depending on your preference that Eve's Bayou is every bit as good as Deep Cover. But those movies were designed to bring about a different type of emotion. I am not even going to compare Rosewood to Friday but you ask people to quote 3 lines from Friday, most people could do it.
Now this Brings us to SP. I think that this movie falls into the category of comedy. This shit was just too funny. Everything from the way Memph was acting, the vague and obscure answers Jay was giving and the over all shady direction the movie was sent in. This is a feeble attempt to show people the realism and grimy-ness that goes along with living the way that they lived.
Maybe I have a sick sense on humor but this shit was funny as fuck. These mother fuckers were twee kin. Good quality kills, decent one-liners, shotty special effects actually add to the humor of it all.
If you catch this is on a Saturday after noon, and you ain't got shit to do. This shit will have you trippin. Beanie brings new meaning to the word strong arming.
On a 5 star rating system I'd give it 2.5
