The excellent Paper Soldiers shifts fluidly from comedy to serious drama as it follows an overeager burglar named Shawn (Kevin Hart) through the ups and downs of his short, stressful career. Already on parole but faced with the power being turned off and his child forced to eat nothing but cereal, Shawn convinces an older thief (Derrick "Capone" Lee) to train him. He soon finds himself caught between his angry girlfriend (Tiffany Withers), his incompetent would-be-criminal friends, and a neighborhood sociopath with a hair-trigger temper (Beanie Sigel). Paper Soldiers always feels real, which makes the humor genuine and lets the movie shift gears into high tension. The performances are compelling throughout--Hart makes you care about Shawn without ever letting him off the hook for his foolish decisions. Smartly written and skillfully directed, Paper Soldiers deserves to be seen. Featuring cameos by Jay-Z, Memphis Bleek, and others. --Bret Fetzer

5.0 out of 5 stars A nice surprise., March 20, 2003

By A Customer

I had no interest in seeing this movie, but you know what? It was a cool little flick. The performers (rappers mostly, I think) were mostly very funny. This is not a typical comedy, but the laughs are pretty constant throughout. Check it out. You might like it.

This is by far one of the funniest movies I have EVER seen in my life. I would put it right up there with Friday. I know every line and I'm always in the mood to watch it.

This movie Roc-a-fella films production different their other recent movies because this one was funny as hell! Roc-a-fella recording artists such as Beanie Sigel, Memphis Bleek, Noreaga, Jay-Z, Damon Dash & more were great to see acting but, Kevin Hart was the man in this funny comedy!
