    Who didn't love the music video of Ayo Technology? Was a fun, if exploitative, four minutes of my life. But when it gets dragged over 90 minutes, it will get tiring.

    Now, be fair, folks. Did you start this movie expecting it to be mind - altering and deep? Of course not. ...( read more)At least, you shouldn't have, if you have any brain cells whatsoever.

    Acting is mediocre - I can't complain. I mean, give these guys a break, it's not like they have a master script to work with. Now taking the first comment into account, I can still complain about the excessive obscenities and pointless nudity, which get irritating. Not to mention the fact that these guys insist on putting 'man' at the end of almost every sentence.

    As for the rest, it's run - of - the - mill gangbanger nonsense. Supposedly based on a true story (Beanie Sigel never actually did any of those things), we honestly have very little actual plot to grasp. Oh, but you might have to concentrate on who shoots who and who calls who 'motherfucker' next.

    Verdict: Forgettable. Go see a documentary on forest fires instead. At least the trees don't cuss every 30 seconds or wear T - shirts they don't even fit into. Not recommended, man (sorry, I couldn't help myself).

A.O. Scott, The New York Times

Lacks the visual flair and bouncing bravado that characterizes better hip-hop clips and is content to recycle images and characters that were already tired 10 years ago. full review
