Sometimes you have to be from the streets to actually enjoy a movie about the streets so since I am not a movie critic I'll give it to you straight with no chaser. I enjoyed this movie because of the story. This is the story of five friends who live in Pittsburgh, Pa. They have been friends since childhood and growing up and going nowhere which is typical in the hood, any hood, with any race especially when poverty and ignorance are involved. They had no way of making any money and needed a grind which is a hustle/grift to make some easy money and that is where the movie really takes off.

These young guys came up with a brilliant idea, that is if you're from the hood, to make money. And even though the idea for their hustle was a bit far fetched they made it work. The movie involves drugs and a crooked cop which is usually typical in a B movie like this. The cop, played by Ving Rhames, was one grimy, I mean seriously grimy dude.

Rhames played that role very well which made the movie work. And as I said, if you're from the streets you probably know or have known cops like the one played by Rhames. If you're not from the streets and are of the WASP culture who looks at people from the hood as lower life forms and believe that all police officers are outstanding citizens then this movie truly isn't for you.

I've known of cops in Philly that were so low they could rattle around in a gnats navel and if anyone who reads this review knows of the corruption that is running rampant inside the Philly PD then you have a good idea of exactly what I'm talking about. I am not going to spoil the flick for those of you who haven't seen it, but in my humble opinion it was pretty damn good. What is really comical is that the idea could work, that is if you're willing to take the risk of spending a long time in jail, it really could. Enjoy.

(2009) The Bridge To Nowhere DRAMA/ CRIME

Worthless bunch of five young males of Kevin (Danny Masterson), Brian (Ben Crowley), Chris (Daniel London), Darick (Sean Derry) and Eddie (Thomas Ian Nicholas) who rather not do regular jobs, all decide to make money by exploiting a couple of sidewalk skanks of Jasper (Bijou Phillips) and Sienna (Alexandra Breckenridge). By the time their escort business goes well, until some bad decisions were made at a particular time. Vince Rhimes is a good actor but his role is mediocre and doesn't do him any justice. Predictable and uninvolving, which is like something I must have read from a newspaper article, except this film wastes the viewers time if time was spent time watching it- it did succeed in putting me to sleep.
