State Property (2002)

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

This movie should've been called 'Urban Stereotypes For Dummies' as it uses every cliché imaginable. The story is a Scarface-wannabe, street thugs rising up in the drug world. While Scarface may have glorified this type of life, this movie just dragged out a plot that it couldn't successfully deliver. The acting is non-existent. I've seen better cold readings than this. And the directing just plain stunk. Too many close ups. The director should consider using medium and long shots on occasion. I'm going to change my cable provider if movies like this are the best they can offer.

I was surprised by this film. Saw it late night on BET. Was very impressed with its intensity. Having lived in NYC during the early days of crack and having had friends that grew up in the projects, the film struck a chord.The guy that plays 'Beanie' is intense in this film. Great performance in my opinion and I loved the tag line "Ya either get down or ya lay down and if ya lay down, y'r gonna stay down."I was also impressed with some of the special effects. Pretty gritty in spots.Although this is not a perfect film by any means, I do believe that it is worth viewing.I have not seen the sequel.

This was actually one of the worst films I have seen to date. It was surprising because believe it or not, i usually like these low-budget hip hop films, they usually seem a bit realistic to me. However this was one WAS NOT! It was fake, wow so fake. The R.O.C. doesn't impress me with this film. The acting is not that great, the lead was horrible although I liked Omillio Sparks, Memphis Bleek and Damon Dash in their roles. I thought this film bit off so many films it was sort of pitiful. The script wasn't that great either, weak dialogues. I just think this is the perfect example for the idea that these people should stick to making music not movies. 4/10

This movie was an excuse for Jay-z to claim he had something to do with the production of a a movie. This was one of the two movies I have ever seen that I couldn't finish it was too horrible. After seeing it, I asked someone to explain it to me, so here is what I gather. This Beans character is very down on his luck man, and would like to change this. He then starts out a gang called "ABM" which was later explained to me to mean "All aBout Money" why it wouldn't be AAM is just just depressing. Then he beats people up, and seems to be quite the hate filled individual. Then Jay Z shows up in a car for some reason then the movie was over.
