Belly 2: Millionaire Boyz Club DVD: Review By Solar XI

Hype Williams directed the 1998 original "Belly" that starred rappers Nas and DMX (which jump started his acting career) about drug dealers trying to make it in Queens. The film was terrible (though it's better than this sequel) and ran out of money during production therefore half the eighty-five percent of the film is black. I do like Belly because it is set in my hometown.

I saw this film completely out of boredom.

The Game leads the film as 'G', a former convict who wants to live a straight life but is drawn into the life again. The film co-stars Michael K. Williams (best known as Omar Little on HBO's The Wire), Shari Headley and a bunch of bad actors. The reason I only gave this film .5 out of five stars was because I could see the actual film, unlike the first.

The acting was terrible and for a film that is about the gang life, the shootout scenes were completely fake. The blood shown from dead bodies are as fake as Nick Frost with ketchup in "Hot Fuzz".

The Game, as an actor, has potential to be a good one but if he keeps acting in films such as this, he won't make it anywhere.

DO NOT WATCH THIS FILM. DON'T LET IT CROSS YOUR MIND.

You are better off watching Val Kilmer and 50 Cent in "Streets of Blood".
