New Jack City (1991) Is a movie in my DVD collection that I recently rewatched on Tubi. The storyline follows a couple of friends who build a drug empire and experience riches beyond their beliefs. A police officer is trying to infiltrate the gang but falls short at every turn. As the friends get too comfortable to the point they even start to betray each other a crack forms that may finally be the cop's only hope to catch them...
This movie is directed by Mario Van Peebles (Posse) and stars Ice-T (Tank Girl), Wesley Snipes (White Men Cant Jump), Chris Rock (CB4), Allen Payne (The Perfect Storm), Bill Nunn (Spider-Man), Bill Cobbs (The People Under the Stairs) and Vanessa Williams (Candy Man).
The storyline for this picture has many unpredictable twists and turns. The cast is perfectly selected and I was impressed by Snipes intensity and Chris Rock's range. This may be Chris Rock's all time greatest performance. The dialogue is very well written and the evolution of the characters is well portrayed. The circumstances are very entertaining and the ending is unpredictable and well done.
Overall this is a very well executed movie that is an absolute must see. I would score this a 7.5/10 and strongly recommend it.
