Guilty by Association

This makes you wonder if someone "stole" Morgan Freeman. I suspect he was abducted and used without his permission! His work is always so much better than this. The movie was poorly written. It was poorly made, and poorly directed. This movie contains almost no real footage with Morgan Freeman in it. No one should rent or buy this movie based on his "presence" in the film. As an avid supporter of Morgan Freeman, I honestly believe that there is something afoot here. It's as if it was sold to him as one project and then post-production became something totally different. I wonder why he didn't fight this. It's pure crap.

This movie has an awesome plot, and a very important message behind it. The problem is, due to the most annoying and bad acting I have seen recently, this movie bombs.

Even Morgan Freeman can not save this one. He is seen for maybe a total of ten minutes during the entire film. His role is to say the least, meaningless.

The thing is, if you can suffer through the bad acting and the slow pace that this movie goes at. It does have an important message about what gangs, drugs, and violence lead to.

I do not recommend this movie.

I rented this movie only because of Morgan Freeman.

Having seen movies like Outbreak and Se7en, this is totally disgusting.

Are they talking about Gangs? Drugs?...Nothing...

Morgan freeman should think before lending his name to these kind of films though he comes only in 4, 5 scenes.

I had to fast forward (X16) for most of the scenes.

There is also a utterly indecent bed scenes and a cabaret which most of us would feel disgusting.

I would rate a 1/10 for this movie.

We rented this movie for one reason: Morgan Freeman. Unfortunately, Morgan Freeman's largest part in this movie is on the DVD box. I like Morgan Freeman, but this whole movie, and especially his supposed part in it, is a fraud. I HATE gang-banger gibberish and subliterate street jargon, and that's all this movie is. Whatever hidden cautionary tale this movie is supposed to convey is buried under cubic yards of blithering idiocy. If you want to see what is in this movie without paying for it, just go over to the bad side of what ever city you live in and you'll see plenty of it. Whatever you do, don't waste your time or money on this movie if you are wanting to see Morgan Freeman--he just isn't there. Rating: a big goose egg -- 0. There's not one redeeming quality to this movie, not even the big name "associated" with it.

I pride myself on not being taken in by fancy packaging. Since I work in film and advertising, I understand that things are not always what they see. This movie made me sick. I was absolutely paralyzed by it. ALthough the remote was simply on the coffee table in front of me, I physically could not move to turn off the movie. I was that amazed. Morgan! MORGAN!! MORGAN!!! What was going through your mind, Brother. I find it hard to believe that you went into this project willingly. Or perhaps you were hoodwinked by the same people who got me to rent this debacle. Word of advice... NEVER EVER EVER put this movie on your resume. Most people will not have seen it or even heard of it. And don't ver go on Maury Povich. You know how they surprise people. Well it won't be a lover from your past which comes back to haunt you... it will be this film. Wow. I wish I had their money. I would have made a much better film. Isn't that always the way? People with it have no idea how to handle it. Oh well. DOn't rent this. It truly truly sucks!!!
