This Is Pretty Good,
By "lilking101" (Omaha, NE USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Belly (Special Edition DVD) (DVD)
Some acting's bad, but besides that "Belly" is an everyday crime film, only with alot of style and alot of truthfulness. DMX and Nas star as Tommy and Sincere(a modern day Butch and Sundance as Sincere puts it). They are thugs who rob night clubs. Then Tommy finds out about this new kind of drug, hooks up with his Jamaican druglord friend Lennox(one of the coolest performances), and builds an empire in Nebraska. Everything's cool until Knowledge(rapper Power) gets locked up and starts screwing Tommy's business up. He recruits Shameek(Method Man) to hunt them down and kill them. At the same time, Sincere starts to reconsider his lifestyle. This isn't the greatest crime drama ever, but it is cool. DMX gives an outstanding performance. Nas' Sincere seemed a little dreamy at times, but his role still works. T-Boz outacts Nas because of the scene when Method Man breaks into her house and she freaks him out when she pulls a gun on him. Method Man gives an alright performance, but his role was too small. Taral Hicks plays Tommy's girl Kiesha, who in the end symbolizes woman power as she fights off Method Man. As for the movie, there are alot of memorable scenes, the most being the opening nightclub robbery. Neon lights, glowing eyes, and quick getaways. This is probably the biggest Hip-Hop cult movie. For these being debut actors and a debut movie director, this movie's amazing. The best is that most of the same things that we found wrong with this film, Hype(the director) found himself. It would've been better if it hadn't been edited so much(Hype says in the commentary that the movie was like 3 hours originally). The last stand of Lennox is a little like the last stand of Tony Montana in Scarface, but it is more realistic and stylish. Anyways, good performances, great directing, awesome cult classic. Cop this! Was this review helpful to you?

This Film is Better Than I Expected,
By A Customer
This review is from: Belly (Special Edition DVD) (DVD)
While some acting is bad, some is exciting in this movie directed by Hype Williams. DMX is on fire for this being his first movie and while Nas is obviously meant to be a rapper, he also does a pretty good job. The supporting cast is really good although T-Boz sounded a little fake in some scenes. The Jamaican druglord is probably the best character in this film with the exception of DMX, because he's so dangerous and he smarts off even when he's taking on an entire hit squad by himself. --Main point= Belly is a film for fans of urban/gangster flicks and this one definitely is one of the better ones.
