Hustle & Flow

Hustle & Flow: An outstanding movie about a pimp in north Memphis trying to fulfill his dream of being a rapper. DJay the pimp, is played excellently by Terrence Howard. In fact the whole cast is worth noting as they all bring a richness and realism to the characters. Although they are playing pimps and hookers, they make them likeable. The story picks up with DJay living in a run down house with 3 women who he pimps out on the street to make his money. When he finds out that a successful rapper who grew up in the area is coming back into town he figures this is his shot to show he can make music as well. What we see next is a man give his everything to something believes he can do. Very inspirational! The music acts as almost another character in the film. The songs are good and sound like something that would actually be written by a pimp. Overall…..A Must Rent!!!!!
