A Porcentagem

First, unless you like seeing Ving Rhames wearing a cowboy outfit, you don't want to see this movie.

Second, if you need a reason to wonder why it is this movie was made, please for the love of gods, tell me.

Third, there's no spoilers to give away about this godsforsaken movie. It's just that bad. They took what could have been a great plot and instead cast it with people who have no clue what they're supposed to be doing. HOW did they get Ving Rhames into this mess? He is such a good actor. Was it extortion that got him to do this pile of stinking poo?

It's not a gangsta' movie, it's not a rapper movie, it's not a crime drama, it fails on so many levels it just is incomprehensible what they were thinking as they watched the final cut of this atrocious thing that they thought, "hey, you know, SOMEONE will like it." No, not they won't unless English is not their first language.

Don't waste your time. Don't waste your money. Don't waste the 90 minutes you could be doing something else, ANYTHING ELSE, watching this.

There was one reason I stuck with this movie past the first 5 minutes.

It is so terrible that it almost became entertaining! The acting, script and performances are just plain bad, but the (lack of) quality in the production takes things to another level. An early sign of what was to come was when the two lead characters were shown sitting in what is clearly a stationary, motionless car. Despite this, one of them repeatedly moves the steering wheel in a an apparent attempt to convince the audience he's driving.

I could dwell on such mistakes but it would be remiss not to mention the casual racism. The characters are repeatedly shown demeaning white women (who seem to appear only as prostitutes, strippers or serving staff) with the apparent intention of making themselves appear tough. Racial slurs and needles, bizarre unprovoked aggression towards white women is a recurring theme.

Essentially, this feels like it was written, acted and scripted by ten year old's who have spent the afternoon watching rap videos.

This has got to be one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my life.. Horribly directed, absurdly stupid script, unbelievably poor acting and just an overall retarded experience. Everything from the poor accents of the actors, to the mistimed events, it's all garbage.

I'm going to make a list of the crap in this movie:

-Bad music -Poor acting -Bad script/writing -Bad camera angles -Out-of-place clothing -Poor character development -Mistimed events

And so, so, so, so much more absolute trash.. What a waste of time.

How anyone would find this movie entertaining is beyond my wildest dreams.. Every single one of these people acting are indeed NOT actors. The only person half-way believable is the Turkish "bad guy," and even that was forced.

AVOID. AVOID. AVOID.

Two Bronx hustlers, Ant (Cam'ron) and Carter (Omar Gooding) are in the middle of a major deal, when suddenly the authorities raid the club. Both make their escape and are advised to lie low, so it's off to Miami to stay with Carter's cousin. However, lying low is not a possibility when the temptation to make fast money takes hold again.

That's about as exciting as it gets, folks. Percentage is a truly dire experience. The laziness that runs throughout this shoddy caper is inexcusable, covering everything from it's terrible camera work, dull locations (how can you make Miami look dull?), poor direction and woeful acting.

The cast list reads well, but everyone looks like they'd rather be somewhere else. Cam'ron leads with a fantastically uncharismatic display (the white b*tches scene is toe curlingly cretinous), Macy Gray gives a rambling, shaky version of her usual shtick and Ving Rhames delivers the most absurd turn you'll ever (not) want to see him in.

As for the plot, it's both nonsensical and boring, I mean really boring. Even the action sequences, what little there are of them, are totally inept. There also seems to be huge chunks missing from key points (and meaningless ones) in the movie. Add in the badly handled editing and you'll neither fully know nor care what's going on by the end.

Unquestionably one to avoid, this is one Percentage that you'll regret taking a cut of.

Great Movie, I like State Property 1 & 2 better. Also Plot could have been more interesting. Some of the actors could have got into their character a little better. A good movie for Crime, & Comedy :-) I also enjoyed seeing myself in this movie. (Played in the Strip Club Scene as a Swat Team Member, and in the Club Scene) Glad they filmed this in Miami, FL. Everyone in the cast had fun everyday. Looking forward to the next film from Flavor Unit Ent. Favorit day on set was when Melinda Williams made me give her a leg massage, said her legs hurt from rocking them heels :-). Glad BET picked this up! The next time Flavor Unit Ent. has auditions for speaking rolls i'll be there. Especially if it's in Miami.
