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)

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

). 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!
