Deuces

Deuces surprised me considering there's not much they can do with a run of the mill plot such as this one. I will say there is some unnecessary filler in my opinion such as the romantic elements in which it could've done without. It's a crime movie, I couldn't care less about a soft core sex or romance scene, they could've implied it at that point because it was out of place and pointless. Other than that the overall acting was believable and genuine, everyone involved did a fantastic job, it felt like a real story. I liked the City of God reference (one of the best films ever made). I didn't expect how it all played it and I was satisfied with the ending. All in all, it was enjoyable. It's one of those movies I can only watch once after knowing how it ends. Cinematically it was nothing special, but it entertained me.

The reason I believe this is 'Menace Part 2' is due to the fact that O Dog got out of prison after getting arrested in Menace and changed his name to Deuces and started a crime ring making tons of money. Makes sense since O Dog has aged and was from South Central in this movie like he was in Menace. You may disagree but don't you think it's a possibility?

When I saw this film available on Netflix, I ran to check the reviews on imdb and the trailer. Did not seem that bad, despite the mixed opinions on it, and I thought I could give it a try. The plot is known, but so badly introduced, the characters so badly drawn, that I could not stand the whole show and I had to end it. Despite this fact, I can tell you I saw a good deal of it and its bad as a movie can be.

Above average drugs and glamour story. Some good performances and a fast pace makes this watchable and dare I say enjoyable.

This was a great surprise. Awesome movie, the script was well written, Larenz Tate, Megan Good, and Lance Gross, along with Rotimi (from Power) and other actors Were AWESOME. A great mixture of suspense, action, love and drama. An absolute must see! I want to find out how to buy this to contribute to my movie collection. Jamal Hill is a great producer-doing great work--I now an official fan.
