Review of New Jack City (1991) by Daniel K — 10 Sep 2016

An often overlooked minor classic of the gangster genre. Stylish and self-consciously over-the-top, it's a lot of fun while making a serious point. There are some weaker performances (Ice T) but Wesley Snipes is great as the villainous Nino Brown.

There's also a decent performance from a young Chris Rock. It's sometimes silly but always entertaining. A great Sunday afternoon movie.
