True to the Game 3

Hated the ending because one it made no sense and two they didn't really make this about gena and quadir which I hoped to see overall bad ending to this trilogy.

The last addition to this series is probably the most tension filled. Per usual, the "main" character in the film Gena takes a backseat to the assorted characters and their stories involved in the criminal underworld. Bodies start dropping left and right, including a couple the audience might not have expected. Direction keeps pacing and tone the most level of all three installments. Acting still decent at best from the cast of performers. However, Kris D. Lofton as the main villain in this sequel is a standout. True to fashion in the series, production value remains a high point, with decent camerawork, editing, sound design, and music/score. The ending was bizarre on one front (I assume the books made certain things more clear than the films did) and offered an annoying trope on another. Recommendation? Anyone invested this far will probably want closure to the series. As a standalone crime thriller, nothing new is given to the genre here.

I've been following this franchise and other movies by this producer for a minute. The stories he chooses to produce aren't bad and this highly anticipated third installment of the True To The Game series was very disappointing. The actors are still mediocre due to extreme over acting which draws from its realism. But the biggest problem with this movie as his others is lense quality. I mean it's impressive to see untrained film makers create these productions but that lack of training shows because cinema quality lenses are never used. The "stock" lens look cheapens this movie and it's a simple fix. If Haley springs for cinema quality lenses, it would sharpen the performances of the actor's and give the viewer a more realistic feel instead of that video look that they have sit through. Taking some classes in cinematography would be a great investment to make these movies into true classics.

I really love these movies and I can't wait until part 4 comes out. Gina and Quadir are a great couple. Love it. I want to know who will be the father of the baby. And I want to know what path Brea ends up going down. This movie has me waiting and wanting more.

This film essentially takes up where its predecessor left of with both "Quadir" (Columbus Short) and "Gena" (Erica Peeples) having been reunited in Malibu while a drug lord's right-hand man named "Saleem" (Jeremy Meeks) continues to look for the people who stole his boss' stash of heroin. Meanwhile, Gena's sister "Bria" (Iyana Halley) and her two close friends "Shoog" (Vivica A. Fox) "Alia" (Niatia 'Lil Mama' Kirkland) are doing everything they can to keep both the police and Saleem from ascertaining their involvement in the deadly heist. But what nobody realizes is that a new player by the name of "Terrell" (Kris D. Lofton) has just been released from prison and he is even more dangerous than Saleem could ever hope to be. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that I didn't think this movie was quite as good as the two films before it due in large part to several scenes that lacked credibility with Quadir's description of his top-secret revival being just one. Events like that might happen in Hollywood--but not in the real world. Having said that, however, while this was certainly not a great film by any means, it was still sufficient for the time spent and I have rated it accordingly. Average.
