This Movie Is disappointing I'm horrible The plot is bad and boring,Flat-out characters,Terrible acting,the pacing fells like it's a 3 hour film,there's nothing good about this film just your everyday wannabe Scarface film.The film is about Beans who is tired of being broke so he decides to become a drug dealer with him and his friends selling drugs around Philly and making money and killing whoever gets in the way.Soon later in the film A character name Dame comes and decides to get even with Beans after he disrespects him and both of them go against each other in the film.First of all the plot is so unoriginal the fact that Beans wants to become a drug dealer out of nowhere is dumb he has no really good reason just to get money that's it nothing else.and the pacing is so long there are scenes that feel that just too long and are unimportant.As for the characters there's so flat. you don't much about beans' character.he's just a drug dealer trying to make money and that's it and the same goes for dame nothing else either he a drug dealer.as for beans' crew ABM they do bring some humor in the film but as a whole there no development for example the leader of the crew Baby Boy is so underdeveloped and very far from likable and I should point this out nobody in this film is likable.The only character that shows little bit of development is Blizz he's only motive is to be on top and get money and become a boss and goes further with that motivation when he betrays Beans but gets killed during the middle.so that's really it.As for the acting well since most of the actors are Rappers I should be easy about this but they need to step there Acting game up.Beanie Sigel as beans he really needs to take some acting lesson If he did maybe he would have given a better performance than his bad performance.Same goes for Damon Dash's acting bad.he really at times struggles with his role despite the fact that he isn't an actor.Omillio Sparks with his Over-the-top performance gets on your nerves after a while even though at times it's funny but not laugh-out loud.Jay-Z has a cameo in this film but I can't judge his acting since his screen time was so small.as for the rest of the actors They all do a bad job with there roles.For anyone who has seen this film stay away from it it's not worth your time your better off watching the the second state property which is ten times better.

The humor was crude and funny. The main problem was the way the movie was cut and directed. Scenes started to early, so there was a lot of extra stuff were the actors were basically standing around waiting for the scene to start. There were also inconsistence or lapses in Continuity. Like the scene were a guy shots through an open window and blood spatters the window the bullet came through. Additionally, these or not Juilliard trained actors. They're rappers stretching their chops. Even with the director's problem, this was a decent movie. Jay Z's character was slightly retarded in his first scene. But he seemed to snap out of it.

This movie is straight comedy. I was cracking up watching it. Beanie Sigel is "Beans" a psychotic Pilly drug dealer who is bent on making it all the way to the top of the drug game. His method is direct and to the point. If you don't join his crew, he's going to kill you. I real offer that you can't refuse. Damon Dash and Shawn Carter (Jay-Z) are rival drug dealers who are at the top of the drug game. Dash is very funny in his role. You can hardly understand what the hell Jay-Z is saying. The comedy is that as Beans comes up the ladder towards Dash, he doesn't even know who the hell they are, and even tells him as much. However, Dash, who is Damon in this movie, quickly lets him know that he can still be street when necessary, by kidnapping Beans's woman. (That phone exchange is classic!!) This is a straight to video movie, but it is worth watching. I crack up every time I watch it. The acting isn't Oscar worthy, but it's decent. The women in here are attractive, especially Jay-Z's hit girl at the end. The plot is basic, so you won't have a problem following along. Worth a look.

At first, I thought I would enjoy State Property, merely because I am a big fan of rap music, and there are a lot of rap artists in the cast, but I was wrong. State Property turned out not to be a film that I am too crazy about. Watching the trailer, I don't mind, but that's about it. After watching only the first 13 minutes of the film, it seemed to me that the concept of making a movie was used as an excuse to let people swear. Sure, rap artists swear a lot, and I was expecting that, but there was so much profanity and slang, that I found it very difficult to follow along. I also didn't see much point to what was going on in the film. (I don't want to give anything away for those people who plan on seeing it.) Don't get me wrong, I've seen a few films like this before, but with those films, it was easier to follow along with the plot. With State Property, that just wasn't going to happen. And after watching the first 13 minutes of the film, I knew that I had seen enough. I honestly felt that seeing the whole film would be a waste of my time. Feel free to check out State Property if you wish, but have a dictionary handy, the dialogue can be tough to interpret and be aware, this movie, from what I've seen, is nowhere near comedic.
