      What the hell?

      This has to be the worst movie ever right next to Manos: Hands of

      Fate. The story is lame, the action looks fake, the acting is awful, and the dialog is crap. The movie looks like it was made by high school students. I have yet to see the Once Upon a Time in the Hood (WOW what an original title guys!) which is the next movie by the same director,but I'm sure it's just as bad as this one. It really makes you wonder who the hell gives these non-creative filmmakers money to make crap like this. Oh and fellas if people tell you this movie is good they are just being nice. Thanks for making Chicago films look like crap. Try reading a book on film making. Have a Nice Day! :)

      A good & realistic portrayal of Chicago's gang.

      The DVD cover got my attention so I rent it at Blockbuster. This was a very good and interesting film. I can relate to Ceasar's pain and confusion as he starts to lose his friends one by one to gang violence. I grew up on the same streets where this film was made and I was really happy to see my neighborhood. The message I got from this film was HOPE. There is light after the tunnel for those who want to get out of a gang. Being in a gang doesn't take you nowhere but to an early death. The movie made an impact on me and I hope they can show it at schools as an educational tool. I was surprised to learn in the commentary that the director was raised in Little Village. This is very inspiring to see someone from the neighborhood working in Hollywood. Keep up the good work and don't forget us little people from your hood.

      Garbage!

      What a waste of time, and that's only after 15 minutes! There's nothing more irritating than seeing the fake high 10/10 ratings when the truth is, this movie is awful!

      NO GOOD!!!

      This was the absolute worst movie I have ever seen in my entire life. I sent my dad to the video store to rent Joy Ride and he shows up with Drive By! I have never seen acting so bad. My dad tossed it in and everyone in the room (5 people) was asleep within ten minutes. My advice to you is DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE!!!

      Another piece of crap by the director of "Once Upon a time in the Hood"

      The theme here folks is LOW BUDGET. And it's obvious from beginning to end. For one, the title is so bland and lame ..."Drive by", sounds like the title of a movie made by high school students. What a piece of crap. Skip this movie, it's not worth your time. These people need to go back to school and re-think their career in film making. Everything seems so fake, the acting is horrible.....HORRIBLE!! This is not what Chicago street life is all about. This guy is pretending to convey his knowledge of Chicago gang life and he falls way short. I say skip this movie and go see the worst thing thats out in the silver screen which will STILL be 100 times better than this crap fest called "Drive By" how original...
