In this drama, Ja Rule, who stars as Reggie, struggles with the loss of his father. His old friend J-Bone, who is a cold-blooded thug recently released from prison, helps Reggie find who murdered his father. A week after his dad died, a preacher, Reverend Packer, came up dead. Reggie was suppose to be the one to kill him, but did he? Did Reggie kill Reverend Packer or was it some type of a setup?

Back in the Day also has a couple of romantic scenes. See, Reggie falls in love with the preacher's daughter and J-Bone doesn't approve of his love friend. As J-Bone tries to destroy what they have, Reggie learns that love is about forgiveness. But what J-bone is doing, does it work? Do Reggie and his girlfriend break up, or does it bring them closer together?

I like this movie because it leaves you wondering what's going to happen next and did this or that happen. I like movies with suspense! It kind of makes you want to be in the movie so that you could detect things. I also like this movie because everything falls in place, if you really pay attention to it!

THIS WAS A WONDERFUL MOVIE. EVEN ONE SHOULD SEE THIS MOVIE. SOME OF THE THINGS THAT HAPPEN IN THIS MOVIE HAPPEN IN REAL LIFE. PEOPLE GET CAUGHT UP IN THE LIFE OF MAKING FAST MONEY, MEN DO CHEAT ON THERE WIVES. THEY SHOULD MAKE A PART TWO OF THIS MOVIE TO SHOW HOW LIFE END UP FOR JA RULE. IF YOU HAVENT SEEN THIS MOVIE YOU SHOULD WATCH IT. YOU WILL ENJOY IT.

I just finished watching Back in the Day. I thouroughly enjoyed this movie. I don't care what is said about Ja Rule, but this guy has a natural talent. You can't fake natural talent. I think he's a great addition to films! Ving Rhames did his thing too. What did you expect? He's a veteran! I give much props to each and everyone who had anything to do with this movie...they did a wonderful job!!! EXCELLENT!!!

This was a pretty decent action movie with a twist near the end that made the film even better. Unfortunately there were also some moments near the middle of the film that dragged with unnecessary mushy romantic segments. These segments shouldn't have been included in a film dealing with bad guys and gansters killing each other for much of the story. The romantic bits felt completely pointless to me.

This was a pretty good movie if you ask me. Wasn't great, wasn't incredible or revolutionary in the world of action movies, but entertaining enough to give it a passing grade and a film I recommend watching.

You'd probably expect plenty of guns and violence and bloody scenes. Well, you somewhat get that, but the storyline didn't focus on the violent aspect as much as you think.

Still, I liked it. Movies like this have become underrated these days it seems since people tend to ignore them.

Just finished watching Back in the Day and I honestly have nothing but good things to say about the movie. While I'm sure it will come as no surprise that Ving did his thing what was very surprising is how well Ja performed. James Hunter,the director, needs to be given credit not only for a well written and shot movie but also for coaching that performance out of Ja. This is one for the collection, not to be missed.

this movie takes place in the lives of a couple of gangstas who do stupid stuff and bad stuff comes back to get them. doesn't sound too bad of a plot, but the problem is the lack of definition in the characters and budget. for example, a guy gets shot, but magically there is no blood. there was a few shocking scenes like a man getting tossed in a car trunk and set on fire and a preacher getting shot. only problem is the pace is just too slow. this isn't an action flick. it isn't even a good hood flick. i only watched it because ving rhames was in it and he is one of my favorite actors, but you can't fix bad directing.

in other words, don't waste your money here. go and buy friday, boyz in the hood, dead presidents, or menace 2 society. those are much better.

VING DID HIS THANG!
I LOVE THE SCENES IN THE MOVIE!
YOU GET MY POINT? (SMILE)

I DON'T LIKE JA RULE'S MUSIC BUT, HE DID A WONDERFUL ACTING JOB!
