TI looks really skinny.my thoughts on the movie... it was overall pretty good and i will buy it when it comes out on dvd. and throw it in that collection with good fellas and godfathers.there was a few things that made it very unbelievable.i dont buy it how lucas gets up outta lunch and goes and shoots that guy (stringer from The Wire) on the street and comes back for lunch as says... now where was i? = biggest load of bullshit i have seen. and after that he cries to his fam about bringing too much attention to themselves and should try to fit in. and then wears a bear costume to the boxing match. = hypocritical.he buys 1000 Kilos and then gets followed all the way to his 1 heroin packeting factory which is hidden away in a project building. I mean if you were driving 1000 Kilos in only 1 truck, and you were as smart as this Lucas character, you may have a few decoy trucks to fool the cops. I mean this has all taken place just after a military planes has been stripped to pieces in search for drugs by a shit load of cops. so in reality someone would have told Lucas, ''hey they know something is up and they are after us we need to be very very careful''.then they take the drugs in probably the most suspicious van. they could have used a hearse or a funeral car to make it look like they were taking bodies or something. and then they are also driving for a long drive and don't they notice they are being followed?. And how come he only had 1 Heroin packaging house? maybe the rent was cheap in the projects? surely he could have had a few different ones.smartest thing i thought was him keeping the larger stash of run away money buried under a guard dogs house. that was very clever.was that mos def in that movie also? plays like a uncle or someone in Lucas fambut still the movie was a the best i seen this year and i will go give it my 10$ at the cinemas, because i believe a good movie should have my money.

Just saw it tonight. Fucking ill. Not sure I'd say classic, but still a satisfying experience, nonetheless. I don't see how anyone can complain about the length...I really just got so absorbed in it that I couldn't bother to give a shit. And anyone who complains about action...that just goes to show what lowbrow taste you have. You want that shit, shut the fuck up and go rent "Hot Boyz" or something.
