Nothing earth shattering, but I was pretty damn impressed. It was head and shoulders above 8 Mile, that's for sure.

Terrence Howard's performance was stellar. The rest of the cast was great as well, with the exception of Paula Jai Parker. I think she has a problem with over-acting. She was the same way in She Hate Me.

Even DJ Qualls surprised me. His character was really amusing.

I don't really like crunk music, but this movie made it enjoyable. I may even buy the soundtrack, lol. There are some infectious hooks in those songs, and I couldn't help nodding my head a little. Howard has skills...looks (and sounds) like he spent a lot of time preparing for the role.

I give it a B+.
