His speech is as brutal as the part he portrays. Graffiti (David "Shark" Fralick) is a muscular and insane drug dealer who is in competition with the head black dealer, Clean Up (played by rapper, Master P) who is a psychotic, disgusting character who would kill you for a nickle, no problem. ![]() He is immediately frightened into becoming Graffiti's "bitch," sexually available at "his man's" will. He is viciously raped by two Aryan thugs the first day he arrives in the big house. Dre is not gay, but his good looks scream "woman" to brutes behind bars. Of course it was different for Dre (De'Aundre Bonds) as the sensitive brother of Jones' girlfriend, Krista (Melissa De Sousa). It was not surprising that he, a drug dealer, with a violent demeanor ended up in jail and adapted easily to that macabre world behind bars. His "don't care" attitude is pervasive in poor neighborhoods where people feel helpless and hopeless in America. Gabriel Casseus as Cashmere was appropriately ignorant and vacuous. Jones is a good-looking leading man type and he should "tend to his business" and make sure HE looks good on that screen. ![]() The star MUST always be lit correctly, especially if he is darker skinned. If he is going to be a star, he shouldn't do what Sidney Poitier did: ignore his own lighting. Bill Nunn, as Charles, the college scout, I've seen for years on TV and in the movies. ![]() I ordered the DVD and I'm pleased to have it in my collection, mainly because it introduced me to a couple of really good actors. Since I am a fan of HBO's "OZ," I felt that I'd partake in this much talked about flick. It's scary to us who are not criminals or have not been around these types for any length of time.
