#Tru to da game i always feel like movie#

The movie isn't worth purchasing on demand. I found myself wondering who gave the thumbs up to such a poor movie and why such a great novel received such a low budget and obvious lack of cinematic support. Perhaps the most disappointing aspect of the movie is that it is so unbelievably boring, you're left thinking it has to get better and it actually gets worst until the credits appear. Yet, it's packed with long meaningless conversations that left me longing for the next scene. The special effects, to the extent they could be called that, seemed to be from the 70s, as the film is very low budget and wrought with cheap, almost invisible action scenes. With the exception of Columbus, and maybe one other person, the casting and acting are so horrible one wonders who was in charge of quality control. The movie plot and story line are so nonsensical, and hilariously unconvincing, it's hard to imagine anyone but amateurs put any work into this film. To make matters worst, the novel was amazingly well done and seemed hard to mess up. The movie is so terrible people left the theater before it was half over. Surprisingly, I find myself agreeing with the LA Times and New York Times critics on this one. While I commend them trying to make material with a very small budget, it doesn't make up for lazy writing, unengaged acting or the lace front beards almost every male has on. I haven't read the book to True to the Game, but I feel the movie gives me the feeling I'm not missing much at all. There's one scene in particular near the end of the film, that's supposed to be a emotional moment, but is so rushed like the rest of the film and the rest of the film slogs even further down a hole it can't crawl out of. The one thing that bothers me the most about the film is the lack of emotional impact. The editing is even stranger, when it almost immediately changes scenes after someone is shot or a short time to react from a shooting. While the movie does have some occasionally nice lighting, it's not long till almost every scenery looks artificial to the eye.

It's your typical run of the mill urban drama and no plot point or actor can elevate the material past that. Usually by this point, I try to say something positive about the movie, but frankly, I just don't have much to say at all about this. He began to have thoughts of stepping out of the game after falling for Gina (Erica Peeples) and receiving threats from others taking over his position. The film, based on the based selling novel by Teri Woods, follows Quadir (Columbus Short), a well established street hustler.

However there are films like True to the Game that makes me believe the genre has gotten too comfortable. Maybe it comes from the hope that as the years go by, there will be one urban drama that shakes up the genre and challenges old concepts and writing. I'll never be able to explain what keeps me coming back to urban dramas even when I've expressed my occasional distaste for many.
