DEF MUST HAVE FOR COLLECTION!!
"Paid in Full" is a gripping and intense crime drama that offers a deep dive into the world of drug dealing and the consequences that come with it. The movie follows the rise of three Harlem drug dealers - Ace, Mitch, and Rico - as they build their empire and navigate the dangerous and volatile world of the drug trade.The film features strong performances from its lead actors, with Wood Harris, Mekhi Phifer, and Cam'ron delivering nuanced and compelling performances as Ace, Mitch, and Rico respectively. The chemistry between the three actors is palpable, and their interactions feel authentic and true to life.The movie also offers a stark portrayal of the consequences of drug dealing, both on the dealers themselves and on the people around them. The violence and brutality of the drug trade are shown in stark detail, and the film doesn't shy away from portraying the darker side of this world.One potential downside of "Paid in Full" is that it can be quite heavy and intense at times, and may not be suitable for all audiences. The film is also quite long, clocking in at over two hours, which may be a deterrent for some viewers.Overall, "Paid in Full" is a well-made and engaging crime drama that offers a powerful glimpse into the world of drug dealing. The film features strong performances, a compelling story, and a sobering message about the dangers of the drug trade. If you enjoy gritty crime dramas, then "Paid in Full" is definitely worth checking out.

The Fullest Extent of Urban Life
I can understand many of the bad reviews that I have read surrounding this film. Many have refered to this movie as a typical hood film and it is; but, at a level that captures the realm of economic prosperity (due to the crack-cocaine epidemic) that saturated ghettos everywhere. Unlike New Jack City, it was more realistic. It opened the project doors and windows for America to see.It was based upon a true story, and presented cameo of each of the 3 actual hustlers (drug-dealers)that conquered Harlem in the mid 80's. Excellent film.In order to really be able to appreicate the film at a height, I think that it is beneficial to have some knowledge of that time period ... and maybe even some knowledge of the hood.
