2 G's & a Key

I really like this movie and have been searching to buy it again. Loaned a recording of it to a friend and never got it back. Have been wanting to watch it and have been searching for years now. Pleeeeeaase send me any helpful information as where I can get this. Definitely, a keeper!! Can you send any, I mean ANY, website information as to where I can purchase this movie, VHS or DVD. I've even told others about it, and because it's not a blockbuster, no one's heard too much about it. Can you also tell me if you know of any other movies with same kind of feel? It totally caught me by surprise, and I do watch movies like that regularly on weekends or weekdays, no matter. Thanks so much! My eyes lit up when I saw the results of finding it!

The acting wasn't the greatest, and overall it had an amateurish feel to it, but I couldn't help liking this flick. I'm not in the game(drugs) so I can't say how realistic it's portrayal of that world is, but I can say that I didn't regret spending 90 minutes watching this movie last night.

Yes, As one might assume from the title 2 G's and a key is a modern classic. Not only is the acting superb. Aaron Spears who plays "Sad Dog" the drug dealer is incredible gives a feeling like he really does sell crack to kids. He is eviler than Jack Nickolson in the Shining and Ten times the actor as Jack ever was or could be. The screenplay was clever and was full of twists. It potrated the crack ridden' streets of the ghetto beautifully with incredible cinamotgraphy.

IT worked on so many diffrent levels. On one you have the powerful adn moving story of a drug dealer and his hatred for life. on another level you see the influence of Trufo' and Niche. The movie takes surrelelism to the next step. IT is as if Salavador Dali himself painted this story, it is like magic. This movie is incredible it is up there with Commando, and Scream 3. SO next time you are thinking about renting "Gone with the wind" or "Citizen Kane" Instead of wasting your money on that outdated crap take out the modern classic " 2 g's and akey"

Ever had one of those nights when you couldn't sleep and just turned on the tube to see what was on? That is how I ran across this tripe. For myself, I would have been better served tossing and turning for the 97 minutes I wasted with this film.

In its attempt to "be real" this movie's characters come off as such gangsta stereotypes that the story should have been the premise for a Wayans brothers movie. The dialog? Please! It sounded like a white man was trying too hard to write this film.

The editing was horrible. One of my "favorite" scenes involved a car chase down a bunch of narrow alleys. Cut to the characters being chased, though, and they are driving through a park complete with baseball fields in the background.

When any of our "homies" get shot in this film, he bleeds miraculously through clothes that have no holes, which is more than I can say for the plot of this predictable load of....baking soda.

Indie films can be great even if they are low on budget and effects, but they still need to have some cinematic integrity. If I could have given it a 0, I would. If you watch it, I hope it is on cable, because even the cheapest rental would be too much to pay. Actually, 97 minutes was too much to pay...

I'll give it this: I didn't stop watching, and it's not corporate, which is kind of cool. But my internal critic cut it to pieces -- I suppose I see too many movies. Wooden script, the slang just sort of clanks out of their mouths without any kind of flow. Editing, mentioned before, is hit and miss; sometimes it evokes a good ghetto feel, but mostly its irritating -- jerky, quirky angles and really dull lingering facial closeups. The actors were marginal, though Letisha had her moments.

I'm not sure why the audience supposed to care about Curtis, he's a total screwup and the actor is entirely expressionless and not particularly funny or endearing. The directing doesn't help make you love him or hate him, even; I just wanted him to shut up and get shot already. I didn't care about his impotent vengeance when that rolled around. The completely predictable ending isn't credible at all. I'm not sure why we're supposed to believe that some erstwhile successful dealers he deposes are stupid enough to fall for his petty scams. "Oh, you just got out of jail and are on probation? Here's thousands of dollars worth of cocaine, go run it around the corner for me. Now don't steal from me, etc."

A good sex scene in the beginning gave me hope, but it was let down in the end. Handling of a rape scene was slightly eyebrow-raising, if only mildly interesting. There are better movies in this genre that don't insult your intelligence by trying for some kind of authentic ghetto realism while more resembling a film-school offering. 4/10, an F.
