MCT:September 5, 2007This was a warm up prior to Jamie Fox's acting in "Ray" and it was great acting portrayal of Stan Williams. I'd heard of Stan Williams but didn't know there was a film and this was the best ever.

He died a hero! If he would've been released, he would;ve been a force to reckoned with and they knew that so they would rather kill him than let him live. The finest inmate I've ever seen! I believe he made his peace with God.

Jamie Foxx gives an awesome performance as Stan "Tookie" Williams, founder of the notorious Crips street gang in this riveting true story. Awaiting execution on death row, Tookie is now determined to stop the violence he helped create. When he begins a crusade to steer children away from gangs by writing a series of poweful anti-gang books, he earns worldwide critical acclaim, as well as four Nobel Peace Prize nominations.

MCT:February 3, 2007FUCK Tookie Williams that cop-killing scuzball. I've got ZERO sympathy for that puke and any of his GD hippie-Hollywood supporters

If this movie doesn't show you the redemptive power within each of us & renew your faith in even the darkest of souls - I don't know what will... Revolutionary film...

Jamie Foxx really found himself as an actor for the first time when this movie came out. I really think he realized he could be something amazing when he made this. Sure he doesn't look anything like Tookie but that really doesn't matter by the time the movie is over.

This movie was so damn moving. I love this so much. I'm actually on my way out to buy it while it's on sale. Very, very good.

MCT:July 2, 2006Stan Williams was a murderous piece of shit who not only savagely took the lives of his innocent victims, but even stole their status as (and thereby their rightful sympathy) victims.
Figures Hollywood would produce a movie designed to make us feel sorry for a murderous thug like this... idiots. Redemption? A more true to life portrayal of this man's life would be titled "Refuse" -

Jamie Foxx is amazing. Manipulative screenplay, but the power of Foxx's performance can't be denied.
