Paid In Full: Review

Player's club: Wood Harris, Mekhi Phifer and Cam'Ron

A vivid telling of a familiar story — rise and fall of a street criminal — bolstered by exceptional performances and a clear-eyed take on the economics of dealing and the pathology of ghetto fabulousness. Based in part on an autobiographical screenplay by '80s coke lord Azie Faison Jr., the film's strength lies in its gimlet-eyed depiction of the rites of ghetto celebrity. It captures the macho posturing and casual disrespect for women, but reserves its harshest criticism for contemporary rappers who sell the thug life as a glamorous fantasy of "live flash, die young" romanticism.
