Intelligent script, fun movie

This one of very few films that are within this genre that actually had an intelligent script and good direction. Although this genre has been worn out and over saturated with terrible films, This film was surprisingly good with an intricate plot and great characters. The film obviously was made on a small budget, but it's easily overlooked by having a remarkable script. This film explores the Hip Hop Unit that investigates the hip hop industry and its rumored links to organized crime. The film follows a detective and his quest to bring down a certain hip hop mogul. Good direction, great story, do recommend it. I'd like to see what this kid can do with a large budget. Check it out.

This is just bad.

I like underground, independent, low budget films, but this is just plain crap.

The acting is at best lousy, the editing and direction is on the brink of doing it to a comedy with too long shots, absurd clips and a score that seems to be made by some total rookie that got himself a keyboard and a sampler last week.

Since I mostly write reviews for a Swedish site (filmdelta) I seldom write anything here on IMDb, but this is a movie that I feel I have to warn people about.

According to the rules of Leonard Maltin, I always give a movie 15 minutes, but the production at large was so bad that I stopped the movie at after 15 minutes. Its highly unlikely that anyone else would even dream to see this movie till the end.

What A Great Movie!

Do you like action movies? Do you like drama movies? Do you like romantic movies? If so, this movie is for you!! It has all three. All three drama, action, and romance in one movie. It has good acting. The actors delivers their lines with great emotion and passion. Great cinematography. The look of the film is outstanding. Excellent directing. I love the story line. I think many would like the story line, too. This movie is a winner! It won the "Best Feature Film" at the "Atlantic Hip Hop Film Festival". What an achievement! This independent movie raises the bar for other independent films. I believe that people will be able to relate to this movie in many ways. This movie is a must see!! Go and check it out for yourself!

Urban Cinema done well!

As stupid as the movie sounds, Hip Hop Task Force isn't that bad of a movie. Its just that, like Hostile Takedown (released a week before this), the plot of Hip Hop Task Force has been done better a thousand times before. Speaking of it in the context of direct to video urban cinema, Hip Hop Task Force is near the top of the game. Aside from some bad dubbing and CGI, Task Force is competently produced, features characters that are actually distinct, and has an easily followed story that unravels in an unspectacular, but not offensive, fashion.

I hope this sells well enough to warrant a Hip Hop Task Force 2, which is bound to focus on another detective infiltrating the rap business to find out who shot an up and coming rapper in the face, as that will be too good to pass up.

the worst film i have seen this year

its pretty sad that this movie; wait, did i say movie i meant thing could only be ranked from 1, in a perfect world the ranking scale would exclusively have started at -10 and the people responsible for this offering would be delivering pizzas. this is vile ,incoherent drivel. this is absolute hogwash bad directing, ill conceived cinematography, clumsy editing all these are elements that make for a dismal cinematic experience and all of which are abundantly present in this movie. I am a generally positive person but i just couldn't find a single redeeming quality. This piece takes itself too seriously relying on performances, which we can't blame the director failing to extricate but, these actors just aren't capable of anything beyond mumbling their lines.
