  • Editorial Review:
    Though DJay a streetwise Memphis pimp has always had a way with words that gift has long been misused; this philosopher-hustler lives a dead-end life at the ...fringes of society. Still DJay wonders what happened to all the big dreams he had for his life. A chance encounter with an old friend Key a sound engineer who has always wanted to make it in the music business spurs DJay: if he's ever going to make his mark it has to happen now. He begins to write down his freestyle raps - his flow - and the two team up with Shelby a church musician with a beat machine to lay down bass-thumping crunk tracks. DJay's metamorphosis affects his entire house as the women in his life - Shug and Nola - find ways to contribute to the creative process. With the impending visit to Memphis of hometown platinum-selling rapper Skinny Black DJay has to make one last hustle if he's ever going to flow.Run Time: 115 minsFormat: DVD HD Genre: DRAMA UPC: 097361246840 Manufacturer No: 124684

    Description of Hustle and Flow [HD DVD]:
    The idea of a soulful pimp as the hero of a movie will strike some viewers as objectionable and perhaps even repellent, but Terrence Dashon Howard's complex and fierce performance will challenge such easy moral decisions. DJay (Howard, Crash, The Best Man) hustles a small stable of whores, including corn-rowed Nola (Taryn Manning, A Lot Like Love). When he learns that former local rapper turned superstar named Skinny Black (real life rapper Ludacris) is coming back to town for the 4th of July, DJay teams up with a frustrated sound engineer (Anthony Anderson, Kangaroo Jack) and a geeky musician (DJ Qualls, Road Trip) to put together a demo tape that he hopes will be his ticket to fame and fortune. What's most impressive about Hustle & Flow is that it doesn't oversell its hero. DJay's aspirations are more economic than poetic--he's not out to create art, he just wants a better life. This lack of pretension allows the movie to capture a genuine sense of how creativity can improve people's lives, which surprises DJay as much as anyone. The movie's other strength is a keen eye for social behavior, in particular the ways in which DJay manipulates everyone around him. Howard, who's almost always stood out in every movie he's made, plays these scenes with what can only be called smooth desperation. The entire cast gives substantial performances, but it's Howard who drives the movie irresistibly forward. --Bret Fetzer

    Hustle & Flow blu-ray edition 4 Star Review
    2008-09-20 - I found this film to be very enjoyable and I am pleased that I made this blu-ray purchase.

    Moviedom 5 Star Review
    2008-07-25 - Hustle and Flow was a movie we were very interested in seeing. It took a while and I had to exchange from HD copy, but we are enjoying the movie over and over again.

    Solid Gold... 4 Star Review
    2008-06-12 - Wow...there's nothing original about this movie, but the characterization and the acting is top notch. Terrence Howard gives an Oscar worthy performance and does such an incredible job of becoming his character. I completely disagree with those that have called this out-dated or overly cliche. Cliche it may be, but let's be honest here - most of the best movies are. The question is how does the movie move you, and Hustle and Flow is incredible. I'm going to go out and buy the soundtrack tomorrow.

    This movie was a hustle 1 Star Review
    2008-03-22 - Terrence Howard is a great actor and for him to be in a movie this dumb is reeks of the same desperation to stay relevant that Cuba Gooding Jr had when he played the godawful Boat Trip. Terrence Howard plays D'Jay, a pimp who tries to get into the rap business. The movie is dull and you can tell that Terrance did not want to be there by looking at how bland his performance is. His songs are dull and painful to listen to and the fact that they were even nominated for an award is a good reason not not take award shows serious. I mean Its Hard Out Here For A Pimp is a straight garbage and any sane person can tell you that "D'Jay" cant flow for diddly squat. Despite the glowing reviews for this movie, it was a pretty tedious and lame affair. And the soundtrack that accompanies the movie is just as bad as the movie itself. Two thumbs WAY down for this minstrel theater disasterpiece.

    It's Already Insignificant 2 Star Review
    2008-02-20 - Just this week I rewatched 1976's Taxi Driver and was struck by how ahead of its time that movie looked. In contrast, Hustle & Flow looks like a B-movie after just two years. This movie was one of those over-hyped studio babies that had so much money sunk into it that Paramount had to push it like mad via advertising. This movie was all political campaign and soft substance. The irony wasn't lost on even the jaded Hollywood community. Remember the award presenter's comment just after the soundtrack won an Oscar?
