a5c7b9f00b A modern-day crime epic focusing on the efforts of two unorthodox police officers to bring down a drug gang at the height of New York City's crack cocaine epidemic of 10 years ago. The film also chronicles the rise and fall of Nino Brown, the antagonist of the film, in a light study of drug proliferation and its effects on poor neighborhoods. As numerous attempts to break the control of the gang fail and violence begins to escalate, how far will the police go to catch Nino Brown?
In 1989, Nino Brown, a small time drug dealer, is convinced by one of his fellow thugs that the wave of the future is in the cocaine derivative, crack. Brown sees potential in crack and sets out to establish himselfchief kingpin by killing off his rivals and even goingfarto take over a whole apartment complex. Out to stop him are undercover cops Scottie Appleton and Nick Paretti. Appleton especially wants to get Nino because of the fact that he murdered Scottie's motherpart of a gang initiation. Also involved is Pookie, a former crack head who wants to bring down Ninowell.
First off I love this movie. It had all the action and Wesley snipes showed all the charisma a bad got can show. The progression from brotherhood to self centerednessthat life can do to you, the entrepreneur who becomes the addict, the way crack was came into the ghetto and destroyed neighborhoods (I was in the hood at the time so I can testify to this fact), the addict who gets better only to fall back into the life, there is so much about this film I love. Now having said that, there are some down points about the movie….The good guy's acting is horrible in this film with the exception of Mario Van Peebles who, just prior to this film was "Sunny Spoon" a TV show he basically developed his acting skills on (making note that his father is a director and I saw Mario in an early film "Sweet Back" so he's been acting awhile). This was Ice-T's first film and he was not good at all! Some scenes you had to down right laugh when you saw he suchwhen Mario Van Peeble's character went to ask him to join his group. He is a much better acting now since he's been in a few movies and now on Law & Order. Even worse than him was Judd Nelson. Also the lawyer for the prosecution was horrible which surprise me because I saw her in films before New Jack City and she was great and has been great after that. I really felt the bad guys carried this film. The Dudder man, Keisha, even Christopher William's Character with his small part was decent enough. This was a great film but not because of the good guys.
I can't believe I liked this on its original release. I found the film quite dated (crack is the drug of choice), poorly written and edited, and unfortunately poorly acted. Among my issues are: Ice-Ta guy named Scotty Appleton? Why didn't Mario ever tie his tie? Is there one more Mafia stereotype they could have included? Was an editor present, or did they just open the shutter and shoot? And finally, Chris Rock gets the award for worst cold turkey (later recidivist) performance ever (for a character named "Pookie"). He was bad. Redemption is present, however, in Wesley Snipes' performance (his career unfortunately seems to have followed the Treat Williams model), the music, and the design and filming of the crack "warehouse/factory."<br/><br/>A "3." See "Do the Right Thing" or "Boyz N the Hood" instead.<br/><br/>N.B. Judd Nelson's appearance here brings to mind one of the great questions of the 80s: "What the hell did Andrew Ridgely do in Wham?" Judd is in this film because…?
Filmmakers pull off a provocative, pulsating update on gangster pics with this action-laden epic about the rise and fall of an inner city crack dealer. Strongest element is the anger and disgust directed squarely at drug dealers.
