    Pay the Lady....for a job well done!!

    This movie was the epitome of a well done urban gangster flick. I hear it's part of a trilogy, so I'm really stoked to see this series play out. The up-and-coming actors and actresses in the movie did a very well, and believable job. You definitely do amazing things with a limited budget, but you really don't get the feel that this was a low budget film. The action was paced very good, and character build-up was done extremely well. You easily learned who to love and who to hate. Please support these great up-and-coming film makers, so we can continue to get such high quality films. Kudos to a job well done!!

    Sexy and Twisty

    This film was unexpectedly good. You never know what you're going to get with some of these urban thrillers. I mean it's more of noir than straight up thriller. It was sexy, well acted, and Lauryn Ford seems to be a star in the making. The other cast was also excellent with Maurice Whitfield playing the menacing heavy and Dushaun Thompson playing his clever lieutenant. There is also some fun comic relief in the film with Missira Ross, David Jia, and Robert Dobson adding some nice levity to a pretty intense film. If the credits are to be believed there will another one. I'd go on this ride again.

    Great watch!

    I think this movie was incredibly intriguing after seeing it. I was first fascinated in the plot. It was incredibly relevant to me and kept my attention throughout the movie. Having gone through a similar experience, I was able to identify with the primary female lead character and her predicament in particular. The actors all performed remarkably well and effectively carried the narrative. The narrative was well-spirited and it had just the right amount of comedy to balance off the tension. Additionally, the camera quality was excellent. The visual was crystal-clear and sharp, giving everything a revitalizing appearance. It did not let me down. I urge everyone to watch this movie "Pay The Lady".

    Can't wait for the next installment!!!

    A refreshing spin on the classic crime boss themed movie, "Pay the Lady" doesn't disappoint. Lauren Floyd as "Star" plays a character that display a wide range of emotions. From innocent, kept, princess to calculating shero; Lauren definitely displays her acting chops.

    Dushaun Thompson stole every scene he performed. His performance was reminiscent of how Ashton Kutcher did the same in "That 70's Show." He definitely has to be a staple in this trilogy.

    Missira Ross's character, "Pam," also provided some much needed comic relief to such a dramatic situation. Interestingly, she ends up being much more than a supporting character.

    For an independent film, production quality was TOP NOTCH. We were treated to some interesting cinematography. I can't wait for the next one!!!
