Paid In Full | Year: 2002 Actors/Actresses: - Chi Mcbride - Mekhi Phifer - Wood Harris very entertaining, based on a true story A well made movie about a young kid who finds himself right in the middle of a money making drug ring. This young man works at a dry cleaner shop untill he finds a bag of cocain in a pair of pants, when he trys to give the bag back to the owner he realizes the money he could make and soon sets up shop with this and begins buying large amounts of cocain from him. What started small has now grown into pounds,and pounds of cocain. But people soon become blinded by all the money this is where the movie gets interesting. The ring quickly begins to fall apart and people begin to tur on each other leaving people dead and broke. This movie is a real masterpiece and gives you a look into 80's drug dealing and the problems involved with it. Real Gangsta flick! This movie was a tribute to the 80's gangsters Alpo, Rich Porter and AZ. THe realness of the movie was attributed to the great acting and real life imagery used by Charles Stone III. The murder scenes, ghetto settings and drug usage was all real life during the 80's and the movie portrayed this thoroughly. I recommend this film to those who enjoy Hip Hop/ Gangsta movies. Classic Gangsters My fascination with gangsters on film continues. In Paid In Full, the most telling scene is the Harlem young people in a movie theatre watching Al Pacino's, Scarface. They love that movie, cheer the crazy, bloodthirsty, self-made, only-in-America bad guy. When poor and black Harlem residents get a handle on the new drugs in the early eighties like cocaine and crack, money rains down. Wood Harris goes from delivery boy to kingpin of the Harlem drug trade. His buddies are more flamboyant than he. That youthful enthusiasm for easy money in the face of "The Man," proves to be our hero's downfall. This is a classic gangster story and it is very suspenseful and true to life.
