Guilty by Association

The thief Drama is on probation, afraid to come back to jail, but he is convinced by a "brother" to become a drug-dealer to improve his way of life. He makes lots of money dealing drugs, but his career ends in a tragic way, affecting innocent lives in his poor community. "Guilty by Association" has a good premise and even intention, but its direction and the performances of the amateurish cast are simply horrible. It is impossible to feel sympathy for any character, including the policemen and the detectives, who have very weird behaviors. Morgan Freeman is one of my favorite actors and based on his name on the cover of the VHS, and not believing in IMDb User Rating, I decided to watch this film on video. Unfortunately, his participation in this movie is to give his name to the credits only, and attract viewers like me. Shame on you, Mr. Morgan Freeman, for such a crap in your recent filmography. Your fans do not deserve to be so disappointed with you. My vote is three.

Title (Brazil): "Vítimas Inocentes" ("Innocent Victims")

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.

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.

When I saw the movie at the video club, I said it looks exactly like "Along came a spider" and "kiss the girls", it's with Morgan Freeman, it should be good.

Well, what a disappointment, this movie looks like a college project, nothing else.. very very bad filming, and not to help, one of the worst french translation I've ever heard..

It's total crap, I should have asked for my money back.

After the movie ended (yes, I watched it completely, I said Morgan Freeman would do something somewhere, in vain), I checked the DVD extra and watched the trailer, oh my god, the trailer shows ALL scenes with Morgan Freeman.. looks like he's the main actor of the movie!!!

False publicity, plus this attrocity last only 70 mins...

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.
