PAID IN FULL (the movie)
 

Has anyone seen the movie, "Paid In Full" that was released last weekend by Rockafella Records? What were your thoughts on the movie? (both good and bad)

How can I move the crowd?...
 

I knew there was a thread I was meaning to start...

By default, I saw Paid in Full last weekend. I went to the theater to see something else, but alas, somehow I got the theaters mixed up. So anyway, Paid in Full was the only other movie that sounded interesting, even though I knew nothing about it. I'm pleased to say that I thought it was okay. Now, I'm not the bang-bang-shoot-em-up movie type, but I still thought it was watchable (I know that's not a word :rolleyes: ). I know a lot of people feel that we don't need any more movies glamourizing thug life, drug dealing and muderous rampages (and I agree), but for some reason, I still enjoyed it. I'll attribute it to the car wreck syndrome. It reminded me somewhat of Goodfellas (which I liked) and I think that if one were looking for a message, there was one to be found. So, don't rush out to see it, but if you happen upon it, give it a chance.

Beauty_6049, did you see it or are you just trying to get reviews before you see it?

isn't this movie based on a true story?

Yes, I did see the movie. At first I didn't think the movie would be very interesting... I mean, we have enough movies that explain and glorify drugs and the crime that followed in the 80's. But I can say that the movie kept me on the edge of my seat. I also was a little skeptical about seeing a movie that Rockafella created, but all in all, the movie was good. On a scale of 1-10, I can give it a 7.5!
