Very best movie i ever watch

Sadly Over-hyped

i must have seen a different film!!

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

One of the very best movies ever produced. Wesley Snipes was superb as gangsta Nino Brown as was Alan Payne as G-Money, Nino Brown's side-kick. In fact, the entire movie was wonderfully cast.As other reviewers have mentioned, the movie delivers an important message...yet at the same time it is riveting and hilarious at the same time. There are many politically incorrect racial and ethic slurs tossed about so the sensitive viewers may want to beware.Non-stop action that is marvelously delivered by all the actors and actresses. This movie has been described as a sort of Gone With The Wind for the Gangsta population and a break through film for Wesley Snipes.

"New Jack City" is one of those movies that's made by one really good performance. In this case, it's Wesley Snipes, who takes the role of vicious drug lord and makes it his own, commanding every minute of his screen time. Unfortunately, he can't be around all the time, and we're left with Ice-T, Mario Van Peebles and Judd Nelson, who vary from half-decent to awful. No one else comes close to the lead. This probably had more cultural impact back in '91, but 25 years later, it's more bemusing than anything. It veers toward the cartoonish when it's eye is on Scarface levels of drama (even featuring the movie on TV to hammer home the point . . . twice). The sermonizing also doesn't work so well today, and the movie does plenty of that.5/10

This movie made no sense it was all over the place. I know it's an older movie which is why I'm giving it some leeway here but all in all it still made cops look like idiots and dumb crooks look like geniuses. There were many times they could have arrested Nino or at least had his drug empire crumble around him. Entertaining but made no sense. There were some good performances by Chris Rock as a junkie and then redeeming himself as an informant, this movie would have been a lot better had they kept Pookie alive and had this movie a bit more of of a road to redemption for him. In the end though while this movie has some entertaining values in the end it just failed to meet expectations.

In truth, Van Peebles neo-noir classic 'New Jack City' stands as the finest film committed to celluloid. Language is an inadequate device to convey the transcendent beauty of this monumental cinematic achievement. To quote Barry Davies 'Whether nations live in prosperity or starve to death interests me only in so far as we need them as slaves for our culture: otherwise it is of no interest to me.'If one is interested in the hawk, one must hunt the sparrow in the bush, for only then, can one know the crow.
