    I thought this was good. Mekhi Phifer was convincing in this one and Wood Harris displayed some traits of an upcoming star. I would certainly look out for him in more films. Cam'ron wasn't bad, but I feel he should just stick to music. Paid In Full was nothing special but it was enough to have me feeling it.

    OK so this movie REALLY pissed me off BUT I loved it! I truly shows how it is out here on the streets. It sadly shows how grimmey friends/people can be. Where ultimately everyone looks out for Number#1 no matter what. And it shows how true it is that you can't trust anyone when it comes to issues of drugs and money. Made me sad & angry to see the betrayals to be had between "friends"

    this happens to be like a cult favorite of mine, simply because the actors portrayed real life characters in this movie...we (the real life characters) lived and ran in the same community -Harlem, i was a kid watching them in our community and even with them being drug dealers or hustlers, i looked up to them, not only because they represented Harlem to the fullest, but also because they didn't look down on me, when i would run into them on the street, they would give and show respect to me and others around them, unlike uniform cops, or detectives in the hood, but back to the film, even though it's a lot of things that were missed in the movie about their reign in Harlem, its a fair amount of facts about what went on between them, the three of them influenced a lot in Harlem, they gave a lot of direction to many, whether it'll be good or bad...

    One of my favorite gangster movies. To me it shows a more realistic approach toward the crack epidemic then new jack city.

    Excellent recount of the lives of three individuals who fell victim to the temptation of easy money and easy living. Also gave a very vivid an accurate portrayal of some of the clothing and other things that were prevalent in NY during the 80's.

    Great thing about this movie is that it's based on the life of Rich Porter and his friend's. If you ever watch BET's American Gangster, you're bound to see an episode about Rich Porter, he had harlem on lock. Really great acting in this movie too, suprising being how Cam'Ron had a large role.

    An extremely powerful cautionary tale about the drug trade. Part Scarface, part Goodfellas, this film also posseses a grit all its own. A triumph. Mehi Phiferis wonderful.
