Hot Boyz

Terrible movie about a bunch of ghetto guys lead by Sillk The Shocker who become crime lords in this boring and obnoxious actioner which has tons of bad songs and not enough action. All three B. movie Icons such as C. Thomas Howell,Jeff Speakman and Gary Busey go through the motions and have only been recruited to raise the notoriety level that this clunker would not have already had.

Trust me, don't waste your time. This film is rubbish. Weak story line, full of lame cliches, every other word either Nig**r or F@*k, not one single redeeming factor. Just as bad as 'Ride' though in a different way.

Bought this DVD sight unseen, and I wasn't disappointed. The action was good, the direction was straightforward, and the acting was good for the most part. AJ Johnson, C Thomas Howell, Snoop & Gary Busey were all fine, but Clifton Powell as Saint was definitely the highlight, a good actor who never seems to get the spotlight. The only downside was Silkk as Kool; his acting was wooden at best. All in all though, definitely a decent little flick.

Hot Boyz (2000) is a movie that I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows a young man looking to get out of the hood and settle down with his girlfriend, have kids and start a family. When she is framed for murder he will need to spring into action to find evidence to clear her name and get his goals back on track.

This movie is directed by Master P (No Tomorrow) and stars Gary Busey (Gingerbread Man), Silkk the Shocker (Undisputed), Snoop Dogg (Training Day), Pamella D'Pella (Ted & Venus), Shireen Crutchfield (House Party 3) and C. Thomas Howell (The Outsiders).

This film has a fantastic soundtrack, it's probably the best thing going for it. The storyline was a bit cliché and felt like an excuse to get as many rappers as possible in a movie. The opening car chase was cheesy and the car chases overall were fairly poorly done. The scenarios the main character encountered were crazy and far fetched creating little entertainment value.

Overall, this is a bad movie with few redeeming qualities and absolutely no repeat viewing value. I would score this a 3/10 and recommend skipping it.

For HIPHOP fans and fans of these particular rappers it's worth watching. Good plot, decent acting and it moves along at a good pace. Sure its not a Hollywood blockbuster but its full of A-listing rappers. If you enjoy simple action/hood movies then this is for you.
