Editorial Review:
Small time gangstas Billy Goode (Tyrin Turner) and Jackie Williams (John Bryant) are fed up with their work going unrecognized. So when a ruthless underworld crime boss with a twisted vision of justice contracts them to handle a high profile hit, it is bad news for Harlem. In the realm of Training Day and Belly, Crime Partners is relentless and action packed. Also starring Snoop Dogg, Ice-T and Ja Rule.
Crime Partners Reviews:
Movie sucks, Read the Book it's better 
2008-02-06 - This Movie is very poorly put together. I've read the book and it's the first of a 4 part story. This movie dosen't capture what the book does. The Movie Never Die Alone with DMX was based on a Donald Goines novel and that movie was put together properly. This was a low budget film and anyone could've done better. If you want to feel the Movie somewhat you have to read the book first. Donald Goines is one of my Favorite authors, this Movie should've been done a lot better. Check for Never Die Alone with DMX, it's a better movie than this, However Never die alone the book is better than the movie. I give this movie 1 star just cause I've read the book and can see where the movie was going. It was directed poorly and is a disgrace to the Novel.
True to Life New York Streets 
2006-05-13 - This the way we do in ny..great story..acting ok but overall...captivating and great story!
One of the worst movies ever made!!!
2005-08-06 - I love the "urban gangsta" movies. I can watch them all day. This movie was BS. It deserves no stars. The dialogue is terrible, the plot makes no sense... this is really bad. There are times when the dialogue is said twice and you can tell it should have been edited. At one part a girl is talking about someone who got arrested earlier and is in jail. Then the guy who's supposed to be in jail is at the club with them and buys them champagne... what's up with that? Stuff like this happens the whole 100 minutes. Its like they filmed a whole bunch of scenes at a couple of different times and somebody tried to edit it and add in more scenes and come up with something that made some kind of sense. I could act better than this when I was 5. This was sad. This movie took the genre back 40 years.
Dasheiks 2 Cents: It's Alright. 
2004-08-17 - I didn't expect this movie to any better than what it was. I'm glad someone finally used a Donald Goines book to make a movie instead of just writing some terrible screenplay. What I hate is giving rappers top billing when they are no more than just cameo performers. Stop lying to the consumer. That's false advertising. John Bryant is an integral part of this film and his name doesn't even appear on the cover. That is so disrespectful. His name should have been third behind Tyrin Turner and Clifton Powell. With all considered, I don't think this movie was that terrible. I've seen much worse.
A Big Disappointment 
2004-01-22 - After reading the synopsis of this movie, I was expecting more than it delivered. I know several people who are fans of the author whose book this was based on, and I'm sure the book was alot better than the movie. The acting was weak and choppy, sometimes to the point of appearing silly. Snoop Dogg (who was so good in "Baby Boy")and Ice-T (LOVE watching him on "Law & Order:SVU) don't even appear until the last half hour of the movie! The best part was the soundtrack. The bottom line is, don't waste your money on this one!
