Baller Blockin is head and shoulders above any other movie produced by a rap record label. While the movies produced by the No Limit label get all the press, or lack there of, Cash Money's attempt at a movie dwarfed anything with Master P's name on it. Some might even include gone in 60 seconds on this list.

Baller Blockin followed a well tread path and kept it simple. They also did themselves a favor by not asking to much from their rappers, oops I mean actors. Since the dialogue sounded like a rap song without a beat, the acting was almost believable.

The way our heroes figure out who to kill in the end is just one more reason to love this movie. It is truly a classic portrayal of the persuasive powers of a woman. In my opinion a lot of people who will never see this movie would probably enjoy it.

I liked this movie. It was a pretty simple story about some cops trying to bust a big drug deal. The main character was a kid caught in the middle. His friends wanted to jack the shipment, and the cops wanted him to give everyone up. For extra leverage, some of the shadier cops nab his girlfriend, Nettie, who represents the only goodness in his life. I think the guy might have been called Chopper. All I could hear was everyone calling each other "Wardy." The kids on the streets sounded very natural, but the guys playing cops talked like high schoolers trying to talk the way they think cops sound in the movies. Ending was a cop out: to be continued. This wasn't the first low budget hood movie I've seen to do that, and neither of them have made their sequels years later. Guess the money ran dry.

I have just watched Ballar Blockin and from what I seen here is what I am to report about the movie.

The film stars Juvenile as a young man who seen his father get murdered as a kid. (which is the intro to the movie).)

23 years later it is the year 2000 and in the magnolia projects a group of young niggaz who are trying to get a shipment of drugs in get caught up with corrupt cops.

The head of this police division is a corrupt cop named Curly Head who wants to have every dirty finger in every pie he can get.

The main character has a girlfriend named nettie who wants her boyfriend to quit the life of a gangster and start a fresh, but he feels like he is in to deep.

Later on in the film the gang get arrested by the corrupt cops for a shooting which was planned by the cops. The dirty cops want the main character to turn in his crew to save his girlfriend who is being held by the cops. The main character and his crew kill the guy who killed his father as a kid, go against a snitch who turns the gang into the corrupt cops and also have a shoot-out with the cops which doesn't go anywhere.

The acting in this film was poor, the majority of the actors in the film where rappers signed to cash money records, the other actors where terrible to especially the actors playing the corrupt cops.

The direction was all over the place, the plot was basic but had it's to be continued sign at the end. (I won't hold my breath for a sequel since most of the rappers who where in the film are not available or are to busy.)

But I have to say that this film is not terrible, but just a B Movie which you the viewer and friends can just laugh at on a boring night.
