    Gangsta Life

    Don't be fooled by the poster/cover - the artwork that is being displayed here at imdb. It is a clever trick one might say to catch the attention of a few people (mainly the male audience). Do not expect the movie to reflect that.

    Also this is low budget, so do not expect this to have big .. visuals. What it does have though, is a really cool soundtrack. If you are into the music that is. Also be aware that there are a lot of profanities being used. It is depicting people and how they would talk. In that sense it is quite real. Still there are many scenes that are unnecessary to the story or plot.

    You have to suspend your disbelief quite a bit to be able to enjoy this. The twist towards the end might help - but it also might be too clever for its own good. Performances are a mixed bag ... you'll get some goodies during the end credits, including outtakes.

    Unbelievable

    The most unbelievable film ever made. The women were the eye candy, and that's about it.

    It is what it is, a hood film.

    While not on the level of a classic blaxploitation or a newer classic 90s hood film, it's just about what you could expect from a 2000s-era hood film. The acting isn't great but passable. The cast is diverse, and the women are attractive with beautiful figures (but not a single man is attractive in any way).

    I usually don't watch these kinds of films, but I do like Pam Grier blaxploitation films, and the streaming service I watched Candy on has so many black films that I thought I'd give it a shot. I thought I'd just skim through it, but I actually ended up being entertained by it enough to watch until the end. It's not going to win any awards for accomplished filmmaking or acting, but it doesn't have to. It was just passable enough to be entertaining. It's like an expanded, non-musical version of a YT trap tale. It's fine; not great, just fine.

    Urban

    Urban. Niche market. Now can you believe these women will, with all professional skill; be able to rob lifelong gangsta's at gunpoint? Their male pride alone would cause them to fight back. Now some men might be clumsy and slow, true. But many are very fast and strong. So when these flabby women point them guns, those fast, strong kinda black men's hands would just flash out; and grab those women's soft wrists. Then where would they be? But it's just a movie. And the music was actually kinda good. More like Jamaican dancehall, than gangsta rap. Real relaxing music. Very fine.
