    Movie synopsis

    A violent, kinetic gangster film with a strong anti-drug message, NEW JACK CITY is set in the mid-1980s during the height of the crack epidemic. Two street-wise undercover cops (Judd Nelson, Mario Van Peebles) go after Nino Brown (Wesley Snipes), a ruthless drug lord with extravagant taste in home furnishings. Desperate to bring down his multi-million dollar cocaine empire, they send Pookie (Chris Rock), a former street hustler and rehabilitated crack addict, into Nino's drug factory as an undercover spy. When the plan misfires, the cops must face Nino and his henchman in a bloody showdown.

    Editorial reviews

    "...[Van Peebles directs with] energy and flash....Played commandingly by [Snipes]..."
    New York Times - Janet Maslin (03/08/1991)

    "NEW JACK CITY codified the hip-hop-gangsta image as much as any Ruthless Records release..."
    Rolling Stone - Peter Relic (08/25/2005)

    "[I]t helped kick-start rap's march into the mainstream, and ignite black Hollywood."
    Uncut - Nick Hasted (02/01/2006)

    4 stars out of 4 -- "Ice-T, Queen Latifah and 2 Live Crew provide the soundtrack....It's still extremely watchable."
    Mojo - Lois Wilson (05/01/2006)

    It was one of the movies that Wesley Snipes was in that I liked. The video is in great condition. It is an old movie that I can go back and watch again. There aren't too many movies that I can do that with.

    Love it. One of my favorite of all time and it's good to add it to my collection. Nino Brown is a perfect example of how rutless the drug-dealers really are. It's a no win situation and is a problem that will never, ever end.

    This movie is about 20 years old and still holds up! The Nino Brown story and the music made this flick outstanding! We loved that we could share it with our daughter and she totally enjoyed it.

    i bought this for a residnental home I work in. The women loved it and the music was very familiar to me. I myself took a lot of very valuable lessons that I would not otherwise have known. Weslet Snipes is rarely a disappointment. Good film , Is it alone in it;s genre?
