True to the Game

source: True to the Game

Because of the of the late great Nelsan Ellis. Everything else about this movie was trash.

This movie ended so horrible, The bad one at the end of the movie, are supposed to lose. In the end of the movie the bad won. If the lead actor in this movie were to come back and avenge The Killers. It would have been a great movie.. even in low budget

I really enjoyed this movie, great story line with great acting columbus owned that role. I just wish it didn't end the way it did.

This movie was garbage nothing like the book, they should be ashamed.

Gina (Erica Peeples ) studies English literature at college in Philadelphia. She meets Quadir Richards (Columbus Short) an extremely charismatic business man and drug King. Things go great for the couple until an upstart group wants in. It was a decent film with an even flow caused by the smooth characters. Guide: F-word. Sex. Nudity

To be honest, Lorenzo Eduardo aka 'Winston's' Jamaican accent was a joke. Bloodclaat joke a tel yuh. Shame.

True to the Game trilogy is my favorite urban fiction collection, hands down. I had such high hopes for the film. Things I liked: Colombus Short surprisingly portrayed Quadir better than I initially thought he would. The clothing choice for the men was on point and stayed true to how I imagined them to look, based on the book. Qua's right hand man, Tyriq, was very convincing. I enjoyed his character. Jarell had some off moments, but I think his character was well-played and added the nemesis-type flair to keep it interesting. Things I didn't like: Gena is quite lovely as I imagined but her acting was sub-par at best, as was 95% of the cast! Rasun, Qua's other righthand, was absolutely unconvincing. Draya, Shirell, could've been left out of the movie altogether. She has no acting ability at all. Aubrey was not in the books at all. Her character was forced and she added no value to the movie in my opinion, just like Shirell. Those are major components off the top of my head. I wanted to see a classic, to match the legend of the books. I watched it 3x in 2days to come to my final conclusion, but at best; I'd consider this a B-league film. An exponentially higher budget and a more experienced cast would have placed this film at the top. I believe TTTG would be mentioned with the likes of Goodfellas, Paid in Full, Dead Presidents, etc had it been given the proper resources and due diligence it deserves. Very disappointing. I would love to see it continue with the major escrow this one needed, maybe even scrapped and remade from scratch. The movie does the legacy of Quadir and Gena absolutely no justice whatsoever! Come harder next time, Miss Woods. We need stories like yours on the big screen!

How many time they gonna mention they're from philly??? We get it... 10 mins in and they mentioned it 15 times

I watched this. and like it messes with your feelings, so if your watching this movie with friend I suggest not..It starts of great with couple meets, then her best friend dies, then her husband died and hes partner like I said really upsetting but overall it was pretty good.
