5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth a look!, April 27, 2007
This review is from: New Jersey Drive (DVD)
This is a well studied cautionary tale about the potential perils of car crime. Newark in New Jersey had a reputation in the mid-90s for all kinds of car crimes including carjacking at gunpoint and this film cleverly taps into that era. There was talk about lines being crossed by Newark police officers back then and the movie takes a look at that also. I found it difficult sometimes to decide where to place my sympathies. Yes, the car crime itself is mindless and destructive as anyone who has had their car stolen will know but in the movie, the police often come off looking no better than the criminals they are pursuing.

Gabriel Casseus and Sharron Corley give very impressive performances as Midget and Jason respectively. If you're a car enthusiast like me and, like me, you didn't see this movie when it first came out back in 1995, you might feel the cars (which are important characters in this movie as well) date it somewhat but it's not overwhelming. The best thing about this movie for me though is that although it doesn't preach or moralise, it shows very clearly that for young black men, a life of crime can only lead to a limited number of conclusions. That said, when tragedy inevitably ensues, it's still very sad.

Props to director Nick Gomez - he often gets us right into the cars and takes us along for the joyrides - and props to Spike Lee and his 40 Acres & A Mule filmworks for executive producing the movie. I'll be watching this one again and again.

Banging soundtrack as well, by the way. I might actually get it on CD...

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Helpful, March 9, 2006
This review is from: New Jersey Drive (DVD)
I purchased this movie for my teenager son, hoping he could see the harsh reality of what could happen to him following the wrong crowd. This movie showed all the basics and then some.

5.0 out of 5 stars good movie, December 19, 2004
By Jesus (heaven) - See all my reviews
This review is from: New Jersey Drive (DVD)
despite what others might claim, this is not just a movie about stealing cars. it is about the oppression that young black males face in new jersey, oppression they face in the majority of the country. it chronicles the corruption that runs rampant throughout north american police departments, in this case, the newark police. this is a good movie whether you want to watch car chases and life in the hood or if you can appreciate the less in your face message of inequality and discrimination.
