4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Urban Drama With All Star Cast, September 19, 2005
This review is from: Animal (DVD)
Animal is a very intense and dramatic film with an all star African-American cast. Ving Rhames stars in the film as a man named Animal. He basically spent his entire adult life in prison leaving his young son to grow up without a father---and a mother. Darius (Terrance Howard/Hustle and Flow) is raised by his grandmother and turns to hustling as a means of income. Darius has no problem cursing around his grandmother and he just appears to be a common neighborhood thug and he has no problem putting a hot slug in someone. Animal is in jail and can't help his family much while he is on the inside. Jim Brown stars in the film as a revolutionary who attempts to talk some sense into the barbaric and ignorant Animal.

There were a lot of really great African-American actors in this film (Terrance Howard, Taraj Henson, Jim Brown, Ving Rhames, Paula Jai Parker, and Faizon Love), but it pretty much has gone under the radar and hasn't generated much buzz. It's a pretty sad film, it is along the lines of movies like Boyz In The Hood, South Central, Juice, Menace II Society, and Civil Brand. It's an interesting film.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent point of view, April 4, 2006
This review is from: Animal (DVD)
I live in the inner city, and am sometimes uncomfortable with what I see our youths values has become. Common curiosities, values, graciousness and morals seem to be a thing of the past. Family values are non existent, family is non existent, children are left to raise themselves, and their lessons on life values have now become street smarts. This movie "Animal" reaches all the impurities that we see in today's society. Hopefully one day the cycle will break.
