Movie Reviews of Above the Rim

Movie Review: no title
Summary: 4 Stars

Well, here's a movie I didn't want to see at all (I loathe basketball), but I enjoyed it very much. Two actors to watch who are very charismatic - Leon and Tupac Shakur (whose murder robbed the screen of a very fine talent). The former exudes a quiet power reminiscent of Lawrence Fishberne; the latter has amazing eyes with incredibly curly lashes. Another note: I haven't seen a movie that looked this sharp and clear, whose colors were crisp and bright, in many a year. And the basketball shots during the "tournament"! Wow! What editing! Whoever did that really knew his stuff. The story was fairly hokey - good guy, bad guy, competing for the young basketball whiz, and fairly predictable. I did think his overblown jealousy of his mom dating Leon a little too too. But Shakur's portrayal of the local king-pin was very effective. He actually seemed friendly and OK, but the menace below was subtly done. I have seen him before in "Poetic Justice".

Movie Review: Above the Rim on DVD....Hurry up!!!!!
Summary: 4 Stars

I loved this movie.....one of my all time best movies. Tupac played in his best role. Burnie Mac and Marlon Wayans ware tripping me out. Duane Martin played his role to the T. Leon was the Man. A must have for my colletion on DVD so hurry up and make it available on DVD...

Summary: 4 Stars

This is a good movie. It doesn't take it's self too serious and it's not corny either. I like the story, the acting was good too. This is a movie that you just chill too!

Summary: 3 Stars

this is tupac's other good movie 4 those of u question tupac's acting ability tupac does it once again this time as a street wealthy gangsta more calm and smoother than his outragerous character n juice n da movie, he has a older brother leon (known as shep) they r both different from each other and both lost a family member with da scene showning both of their at da graveyard togehter marlon wayans did surprisingly good acting considering that he is usually a comedian n most of his movies but n above da rim he was funny but yet serious at da sametime duane martin delivers a very good 2 considerly great performance who needs more roles he does both comedy and serious actin and rumor had it that he once play n da nba 4 a short period of time 4 da ny knicks bernie mac acted well and was funny at da sametime this movie he played a drugholic who lived out n da streets I love da soundtrack 2 da movie from Warren G and Nate Dogg which is one of da best soundtrack songs i have ever heard

Movie Review: Above the rim
Summary: 3 Stars

This was a good movie when it came out. I don't own it I just saw it back in the day so, I don't know why Amazon asks me to review it. Maybe they know I keep it real on the reviews. Anyway, it's a good movie, I'd pick it up if I were considering it. It's got 2 Pac in it and that dude Dwayne Martin. Enjoy...NEOSOUL06
