Steve S 07/14/2015 Interesting, but disappointed look at the man who founded the L.A. gang, The Crips. Jamie Foxx is good, but some of the rest of the film falls flat. See more 04/01/2015 descent bio-pic of sorts. See more 08/22/2013 Decent wouldn't watch again, or really recommend it to anyone. But Foxx's performance was commendable See more 05/29/2013 The story about the man who started gang violence and the Crips gang, named Stan "Tookie" Williams, is definitely shaky, but still good. If the film had a bigger budget, a more present soundtrack, and was written a few years later, it would have been Oscar-material. You can tell this was filmed very cheaply, but that's not much of a problem. The biggest problem is the ending, which was left running a tad dry. It's even more agonizing to know that Tookie died in prison only a year after this film's release, which means had the filmmakers waited a while, they could have incorporated a deep and emotionally rich ending. Of course, nobody knew that would have happened, so you can't place the blame on anyone. Jamie Foxx is good, but he's not going to win over any awards. Tookie is an interesting character though; it's always a treat to watch an intellectual speak out and declare what he thinks right and wrong. Even though the film has it's shortcomings, it's still a good film, considering the budget it was made on. See more 05/28/2013 Not the best jail movie but its a true story about the creator of the crips worth watching for sure. See more 08/23/2012 This movie is this shit See more Read all reviews
