Just saw this last night. Great movie. As I was watching it, and still now a day later, I'm trying to figure out why it worked so well.

Quick synopsis- DJay a local Tennesse pimp decides to make a change for the better as a rapper. In other words, you've seen this movie a thousand times before. HOWEVER, this one is non cliched and original. It has a very authentic quality and doesn't patronize the subject matters or the viewer.

I think a big part of the success is the performance by Terrance Dashon Howard. This movie kicks the ever living shit out of 8 Mile. Definitely reccomened.

4/5

Re: Hustle & Flow

Hustle & Flow was GREAAT!-) I don't like hiphop but while watching this...I really felt like IF a PIMP can do it then there's no Excuse for me to just sit on my ass. 'The New Guy' was unexpected:lol: They made making music SO easy...I gotta get off mah ASS =)

[FONT=verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#ffffff]absolute peice of shit film, hate to say it. The first tune they made was hot tho. That guy said "man" like a billion times, it wasnt really a pleasure to watch , i just wanted to get the fuck out of there. plus that dude wasnt even a real pimp, he was some pg13 pimp w/ one girl thinking he runs things. But like i said, the first tune they made was hot.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

Re: Hustle & Flow

great movie... very good acting and a good script too.. i agree that it beat 8 mile out of the water, although 8 mile had the misfortune of starring eminem... while this had a proper good actor in terrance howard. its hard out here for a pimp.
