Les associés du crime

We rented this movie for one reason: Morgan Freeman. Unfortunately, Morgan Freeman's largest part in this movie is on the DVD box. I like Morgan Freeman, but this whole movie, and especially his supposed part in it, is a fraud. I HATE gang-banger gibberish and subliterate street jargon, and that's all this movie is. Whatever hidden cautionary tale this movie is supposed to convey is buried under cubic yards of blithering idiocy. If you want to see what is in this movie without paying for it, just go over to the bad side of what ever city you live in and you'll see plenty of it. Whatever you do, don't waste your time or money on this movie if you are wanting to see Morgan Freeman--he just isn't there. Rating: a big goose egg -- 0. There's not one redeeming quality to this movie, not even the big name "associated" with it.

I rented this movie only because of Morgan Freeman.

Having seen movies like Outbreak and Se7en, this is totally disgusting.

Are they talking about Gangs? Drugs?...Nothing...

Morgan freeman should think before lending his name to these kind of films though he comes only in 4, 5 scenes.

I had to fast forward (X16) for most of the scenes.

There is also a utterly indecent bed scenes and a cabaret which most of us would feel disgusting.

I would rate a 1/10 for this movie.

The thief Drama is on probation, afraid to come back to jail, but he is convinced by a "brother" to become a drug-dealer to improve his way of life. He makes lots of money dealing drugs, but his career ends in a tragic way, affecting innocent lives in his poor community. "Guilty by Association" has a good premise and even intention, but its direction and the performances of the amateurish cast are simply horrible. It is impossible to feel sympathy for any character, including the policemen and the detectives, who have very weird behaviors. Morgan Freeman is one of my favorite actors and based on his name on the cover of the VHS, and not believing in IMDb User Rating, I decided to watch this film on video. Unfortunately, his participation in this movie is to give his name to the credits only, and attract viewers like me. Shame on you, Mr. Morgan Freeman, for such a crap in your recent filmography. Your fans do not deserve to be so disappointed with you. My vote is three.

Title (Brazil): "Vítimas Inocentes" ("Innocent Victims")

I pride myself on not being taken in by fancy packaging. Since I work in film and advertising, I understand that things are not always what they see. This movie made me sick. I was absolutely paralyzed by it. ALthough the remote was simply on the coffee table in front of me, I physically could not move to turn off the movie. I was that amazed. Morgan! MORGAN!! MORGAN!!! What was going through your mind, Brother. I find it hard to believe that you went into this project willingly. Or perhaps you were hoodwinked by the same people who got me to rent this debacle. Word of advice... NEVER EVER EVER put this movie on your resume. Most people will not have seen it or even heard of it. And don't ver go on Maury Povich. You know how they surprise people. Well it won't be a lover from your past which comes back to haunt you... it will be this film. Wow. I wish I had their money. I would have made a much better film. Isn't that always the way? People with it have no idea how to handle it. Oh well. DOn't rent this. It truly truly sucks!!!

Wow. When I rented this movie, I knew that it might be bad, but I never expected a train wreck like this. It's not so much that the script was boring, but the way the movie was executed was somewhat bizarre. People's behavior (the police's in particular) just didn't make much sense. I expected a certain level of quality given that the movie included Morgan Freeman, but I was unpleasantly surprised. His character wasn't particularly interesting or important. I have a suspicion that in the original script, Lieutenant Redding was a very minor character, but when they landed Morgan Freeman the Lieutenant was given more face time, though no more relevance. If you watch the trailer, it appears that the movie is centered on him. As it turns out, the plot and outcome of the movie would be the same if his character had never existed.
