Although well-intentioned, this film is a notch below Blue Chips.

A formula script, but a mobile camera, pulsing rap soundtrack and a game cast whip up the necessary fizz.

The actors are very good.
January 01, 2000
The movie lives easily on the streets where it is shot, and the performances -- especially by Martin, Shakur and Pinkins -- are convincing.

When you play with something this formulaic, you're bound to trip upon a theme that has been endlessly explored and agonizingly overdone.

It ain't got game.

A fine cast and the movie's general energy can't overcome that mix of cliches and technical flaws.

It's Shakur who steals the show. The rapper's offscreen legal problems are well known, but there's no denying his power as an actor.

Above the Rim has its formulaic elements, but it has been vigorously directed by Jeff Pollack, who appreciates the lively and unpretentious aspects of the story.

A superficial and predictable sports drama with an inner-city background, Above the Rim nevertheless offers engaging characters, fast-paced direction, and strong performances.
January 01, 2000
A stultifying cliche of a movie -- even by sports-flick standards -- this basketball allegory doesn't get anywhere near the rim.
