...a purely conventional story, but it unfolds in unique and innovative ways, with particularly good turns from its cast, all of which make it a worthwhile watch.

Filmmakers pull off a provocative, pulsating update on gangster pics with this action-laden epic about the rise and fall of an inner city crack dealer.

It's basically Scarface with a hip-hop mentality, but it's also a slickly entertaining and consistently engaging crime thriller.

OK Van Peebles flick featuring Snipes.

The movie was advertised (no doubt wisely) as a slam-bang action adventure, but in fact it's a serious, smart film with an impact that lingers after the lights go up.

A cynical director, Van Peebles has style to burn, but his work is too flashy to make sense. This is a gangster-thriller about crack trade in Hralem done as a moralistic melodrama with kinky violence.

We all know New Jack City is making the right statement on drugs, racism, the system, etc. But the fact is it's not very good.
