Featured review
The lead actress playing Michel'le did a fantastic job. No faults at all in her performance.
Jamie Kennedy does a solid job playing Jerry Heller. The wig is horrible, but his performance was good.
Having said that - the casting director needs to be fired for everybody else. (Mainly Ice Cube and Eazy-E)
The abuse depiction was surprisingly well-made, and very disturbing to watch.
This film gets a 6.5/10 for me.

- Quotes
Michel'le Toussaint: [Michel'le Toussaint speaking on camera to the audience] Let's do the math here: Dre offered great sex, brilliance, no respect, chaos, violence, hidden baby mamas. Whereas Suge offered kindness, generosity, limited sex, job security, access to power and a chance at a dream i thought was dead. So hate me if you want to, I said yes.
