King of Paper Chasin'

Like other Urban crime stories, The King of Paper Chashin had the usual Hip Hop Video dreams. This however was far from a straight to DVD Independent swap meet special. In these films you can usually tell how it will end about a quarter of the way through.. Not KOPC!! Not many films with relative no names (Sorry y'all) has such defined characters. My hood senses were going off and I was torn in some instances. Carte Blanche became one of my favorite "Hood" Anti Heroes, Worth a night at the house with a lil company...You will be pleasantly entertained,

I received this movie in the mail a few years ago. At that time my company owned movie rental kiosk and I held a portion of responsibility for dictating which movies made it into the kiosk for rent. While I wasn't able to convince my executives that the movie should go into the kiosk - I became an instant fan of this movie and as I began to tell dang near everyone I knew about this flick, it seemed I was behind in times because folks already knew about it, loved it and classed it as a cult fav along with the likes of Belly, Get Rich or Die Trying and State Property to name a few. I look forward to more from the writers, directors and cast...overall - take a watch, you will not be disappointed. This is one you will find yourself watching over and over again.

Very excited, I happen to catch this on cable TV and it kept my interest entirely. No Movie is perfect, but I highly recommend as I am going to purchase to support Director and actors alike. 5 Stars from me all day. DL did his thing and so did the other actors, I am not always the biggest fan of the typical gangster/Rapper movies, but this one was a little more realistic than most films of these types. The suspense kept me from switching channels to surf around is a testimony to the good job I think was done on this film. I look forward to seeing more of his work, and if any of these are aspiring actors, Hey I wish them all the best.

I was presently surprised by this movie. It was a well done effort on a small budget. It smart enough to keep me interested throughout. The main character was very gripping and came across well as the bad guy that you cheer for. If you like a good gangster thriller I think this will work for you.

Pros: Storyline Good acting from main characters Writing

Cons: Bad acting from some supporting characters

Would like to see more from this film maker. La Monte Edwards (writer/director) will have a bright future. Hopefully people will be open minded and take this for what it is. Don't understand what some people expect from indies.

I think this is a great movie! It was well written and executed. The movie played out well and the ending really surprised me. I really loved the score and the scenery was awesome. The storyline had me hooked from the beginning. I never saw that ending coming. The actors did a good job. This movie was not your ordinary urban flick, it had depth. The narration made you feel like you were involved. Like you probably knew someone going through the same thing. The clarity of the film was great. There were also a lot of funny moments in the film. I've watched it 3 times now and each time I caught something else that I didn't notice the first time I saw it. Way to go and I look forward to hearing more from this team.
