    One of Morgan Freeman's finest performances -- I think this was his first Oscar nomination. He's powerful and scary as a pimp in this Christopher Reeve vehicle. It's Morgan's picture and his talent shines throughout. A must see if you haven't already!

    The movie title came from the show made by Christopher Reeve character. He was the main character in this movie. He made a fictional pimp as an article in a magazine. Suddenly, that fictional character he made up, Tyrone was actually a living breathing pimp Leo Smalls. From there...( read more) on he got acquainted and trouble starts to brew.

    Morgan Freeman as an 80's super PIMP and that was something. A good movie, but not great.

    Call me a creep, but there's only one reason why I want to see this. Morgan Freeman playing a pimp.

    Schatzberg is so slick. A nice role for Reeve, backed up with some powerful work by Freeman especially, but also Baker. Toss in a kick ass Robert Irving III soundtrack and you're right back in late 80s NYC.

    Great pimp story and Morgan Freeman did a great job on his acting debut.
