Paid in Full is 2002 film that was produced by Roc-A-Fella and directed by Charles Stone III. It is a film that takes place in Harlem at the height of the Crack Epidemic that hit there during the 1980s. The title is from the old school album by Eric B. and Rakim, Paid in Full


[edit] Plot
The basic plot is about a young man who ends up taking over the cocaine drug game in Harlem. It is based on a true story. The main character, Ace, played by Wood Harris is stuck at a dead end job at the beginning of the movie. His sister's boy friend, named Calvin, is a big time drug dealer. He eventually gets locked up, so Ace ends up taking his spot. With the help of his friend, Mitch, played by Mekhi Phifer and Rico, played by Cam'ron, he creates a huge Harlem empire.

Mitch (real life counterpart to Rich Porter) starts the movie as a well known flashy drug dealer. Ace (the real life counterpart to Azie Faison Jr) works in a cleaners, but is a good friend of Mitch. Rico(real life counterpart to Alberto "Alpo" Martinez) is not seen in the movie until he meets Mitch in jail.

While working in the cleaners Ace meets Lulu, a business like dressed Hispanic man who askes him to wash a pair of pants for him. Ace finds cocaine in his pants and is baffled because the guy does not look like a drug dealer because he is not "showy" with his wealth. The local drug dealer Calvin is locked up at the time so Ace takes over his strip. Mitch is not messing with Ace because he does not sell coke, but after he gets arrested he becomes partners with Ace dealing crack with Rico. The trio become extremely well known in Harlem. Ace is quiet and tries to remain low profile, while Mitch is a hood rich pretty boy, and Rico is a 'killa' who isn't afraid to let it be known.

Trouble lurks though. Calvin comes out of jail and tries to regain his empire. He is only getting money out of Ace's generousity. Calvin doesn't accept it and chooses to rather not get money if he wasn't doing it on his own. He ends up attempting to take over Ace's apartment and shoots him in the head, though he survives. Later on, Rico kills Calvin in retribution. Meanwhile Mitch's younger brother Sunny is kidnapped. In an attempt to get his brother back, Mitch attempts to make ransom from drug money. When he reaches out to Rico for help to sell them, Rico sees this as a chance to establish himself. He kills Mitch and takes the coke. Ace at the same time wants to get out of the crack game. He sets up Rico to sell drugs to the Feds. Rico is arrested and is seen in prison snitching on his Washington D.C. connects, but not his New York connects because as he puts it "When I get out in 25, I'll still be the king of New York." Afterward, Mitch's 12 year old brother is found dead. He had been killed by an accomplice of Mitch's uncle who hadn't been getting any money from him. Finally Ace gets out of the drug game and starts a new life.

This movie is based off of the real life documentary "Game Over", which was in turn based on a true story.
