Four Harlem friends -- Bishop, Q, Steel and Raheem -- dabble in petty crime, but they decide to go big by knocking off a convenience store. Bishop, the magnetic leader of the group, has the gun. But Q has different aspirations. He wants to be a DJ and happens to have a gig the night of the robbery. Unfortunately for him, Bishop isn't willing to take no for answer in a game where everything's for keeps.

Fantastic updated, urban film noir. A total classic in its genre, even if the ending is a bit of a letdown. Tupac makes his explosive and charismatic screen debut with this despicable character.

This is an essential movie for anyone who is a Tupac fan, it is a movie which embodies everything that his music described and the acting in this film is so great with a really gripping and realistic story of life in the hood. Unpopular opinion but I enjoyed this film more than Do The Right Thing as this film genuinely holds up in every way as the acting and dialogue is very realistic.

It's difficult to pick out a stand out in this film but Omar Epps (Q) and Tupac (Bishop) play their roles perfectly and especially Tupac playing a character that slowly starts to get corrupted by the end of this film by all of the violence and the life of a hustler in general. Another stand out for me was Jermaine 'Huggy' Hopkins (Steel) as he makes you feel the fear of a person who is involved in something because of their friends and honestly was the character which made me feel emotional.

This film is great, the only reason it isn't a 9/10 is that the ending is awful as it felt like they didn't know how to end it, but its a super solid film with a message which is still relevant and has a killer soundtrack.

This is a favourite of mine from the 90s. Great story of four close friends growing up, hanging out and doing everything together. Until an unfortunate event changes things forever. Brilliant performances from Omar Epps and Tupac Shakur and a cool cameo from Samuel L Jackson. I'd even go so far as to say this is Tupac's best role!

Well worth watching.

Tupac is terrible here, while the rest can be summed up as an overly maudlin, inauthentic experience

Was I supposed to like any of these characters? They were all thieves and robbers even before 2pac's character went psycho.
