Editorial Review:
With his pregnant girlfriend in jail, Diquan is running out of choices. He can either deal guns for cash, or turn informer and cut a deal to get her out. The trouble starts when he decides to do both. Now all the firepower in the projects is pointing in Diquan's direction - but he's ready. He's strapped.
Strapped Reviews:
Easy Money !! 
2008-06-19 - Teenagers on the come-up trying to survive the poverties of they're environment by looking for the fast buck , sounds ALL too familar . Realistic flick with touching storyline !! A must have for the DVD collection !!
Strapped 
2008-05-08 - This was Bokeem Woodbine's debut. It was a good depiction of the gun trafficking that goes on in the inner cities of America especially in NYC. This would be a good learning tool for many of today's teenager's on how reckless life can be if they are not careful.
I LIVED THROUGH THE MAKING OF THIS MOVIE
2007-09-13 - My son was in this movie as the 12-year old gun buyer. He is now 26 years old. It was truly great working with Forest Whitaker while he directed this film. A real classic and reminder to all that the hood really exist. My son and I, especially my son, never experienced growing up in the hood. We learned so much from this movie. I remember so clearly when the gun-buying scene was being filmed - real sirens were heard in the background. It touched me so deeply, for that moment, the scene became real. In reality, it was real because it happens every day.
Thanks Forest Whitaker for giving us the opportunity to work with you and your talent "then" speaks for your success "today"... Keep up the Good Work!
(By the way, my eight year old son was also in the film but his scene got CUT...smile.)
a five star movie all the way-strapped
2007-01-13 - this is movie is so good, you don't see movies like these anymore.the movie captivates you about crooked cops and it demonstrates how far people will go to better their life situations.i highly recommend this movie for anybody that wants to see cops and street criminals dealing with guns,but its more about survival for these good actors.fredo starr is such a good actor like tupac shakur, he makes you feel like hes the real person being portrayed.
A little known hit
2007-01-04 - Not very many people have heard of this movie and I don't understand why. Bokeen Woodbine and Fredro Star play their characters well. This movie is kind of a mix between Juice and Fresh. If your into the hood movies you gotta see this.
