Bluehill Avenue | Year: 2001 Directed: - Craig Ross Jr. Actors/Actresses: - Allen Payne THE BEST GANGSTA MOVIE I'VE SEEN IN YEARS FOUR FRIENDS BEGIN DEALING DRUGS IN ROXBURY, BOSTON. NEVER HAS A DIRECT TO VIDEO GANGSTA MOVIE BEEN THIS GOOD. THIS MOVIE DEFINITELY PROVES THAT ALLEN PAYNE CAN MAKE A GOOD LEADING ACTOR IN A MOVIE AND IT ALSO PROVES THAT ALLEN PAYNE IS ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED BLACK ACTORS IN HOLLYWOOD TODAY! THIS MOVIE HAS GOOD PERFORMANCES FROM EVERYONE INVOLVED. THE PLOT TWISTS ARE VERY CLEVER. IF YOU JUST LIKE THOSE GANGSTA MOVIES THAT HAVE RAPPERS IN IT, DON'T PICK THIS ONE UP. THERE ARE NO RAPPERS IN THIS MOVIE! BUT IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR ONE OF THE FEW GANGSTA MOVIES THAT ACTUALLY HAS AN INTELLIGENT PLOT TO IT, RENT OR BUY THIS MOVIE NOW! THIS MOVIE KILLS 90 PERCENT OF THE MOVIES THAT WENT TO THEATERS LAST YEAR! not great, but still glad I saw it This movie bites off of so many other movies. There is very little that viewers of New Jack films/peliculas de Nuevo Joaquin haven't seen before. With the exceptions below: 1. Allen Payne is finally in a leading role. With the exception of "Jason's Lyric," he's almost always a bit player. As fine as he is, it's great seeing him front and center. But you can tell he's aging. <BR>2. That adorable young actor from "Soul Food" is in this. He's a teenager now and I wish his career well.<BR>3. That scary older actor from "Tales from the Crypt" and "Sugar Hill" is in this, so you know this movie is a dark one. But he scares me so much that I applaud his skills. Move over, Christopher Walkens!<BR>4. This took place in Boston. With the exception of New Edition, the black community in that city is hardly brought up in the media. It's great to see this film as an exception. And I don't think this was filmed in Toronto: it actually looked like what I remember from the East Coast.<BR>5. The main crew in this film are four African-American men of various sizes and complexions. They are well-dressed, well-shaved, and display a range of emotions as characters. I found this very visually pleasing. I think folks should see the film just for that. Otherwise, this was just another flick about the rise and fall of druglords of color. The child actors look nothing like the adult actors they are supposed to represent. This film is second-rate, but that doesn't stop me from being glad I saw it. Anything is possible The movie gave Allen Payne a chance to shine in the spotlight since Jason Lyric. It was totally different from New Jack City, it was more about love and friendships. Although they just happen to sell drugs for a living. I also like the fact how Allen Payne's character married his eighth grade sweetheart. Plus I like how the little boy from Soul Food, the movie adult character looks very similar.
