Redemption: The Stan Tookie Williams Story (2004)

[rumble2005]

Umm. What was the movie about, and do you think there'll be another showing of it. It was about Tookie's life, right? Can anyone shed some info? Too lazy 2 go to the site.

FX shows the same movies all the time, over and over again. youll see it on again soon.

THEY DID 2 MU2C ON THAT MOVIE...TRYNA BLAME BLOODS FOR KUMIN OUT with the GUNS...ANYWAY THE WAY THEY THE BLOODS DRESSED UP THERE WAS NOT the BUSINESS, LIKE WE GO OUT OF OUR WAY TO BE FLAMED(IT'S NOT THAT SERIOUS)

[Guest]

i saw the movie. the part when the gangs were throwing hoods up, were those real hoods.

[Panik]

depends on what hood, and what year. Some bloods stay flamed up, our at least used to. Others barely sport their colors. You can't just make a blanket statement like that.

[bgcasper]

tony dumb , you better take of that bullshyt from your profile homie cause its gonna get you banned

[BeLf]

I saw that tight ass movie....its was kool.

[NYorker]

They could have had a better guy than Jamie Foxx portray Tookie, from what i understand Tookie was a pretty big built dude. Otherwise I liked the movie.

[Ms. Nisi]

This is a very good movie. Jamie did a good job.

[YOUNG1_ASEK]

u can rent it i rented it on DVD cuz i saw it on cable n i thought it was koo give it a 7

[Anonymous20]

Saw it. I personally didn't like how they zoomed on his face when he was saying "I had to do the most ruthless thing possible", etc. when hes talking to the lady in prison... I think if they would have just kept him in that distant camera angle people would have felt sorry for him more so they did all this zooming shit on his face to make him seem more menacing.

[headtrip]

This movie wuz tigh but it didn't really explain enuff of tookies baccground like his life in the hood but theas a new tookie movie out haven't seen it yet it's advertised on his site.

[FILA]

Movie was good but the dvd was expensive shit it was like 23

[Light_skin_boi]

yeah not as good as what i thought it would be it had a good story but i thought it would show more of him when he first started out and more of him when he was in the hood...

[TAADOW]

i just watching it now....

[tmoney183]

Yea trip i been lookin at his site it sayin that it his life story n they mailin it u jus gotta order on the site

[mr 503]

I THINK THE MOVIE JUMPED AROUND TO MUCH.. IT SHOULD HAVE HAD MORE FACTUAL EVENTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. AND MAYBE MORE REAL FOOTAGE. BUT I STILL LIKED IT.

[Helms]

The movie was good, but I think it focused too much on his transformation in prison. I would've like to have seen more stuff about the early years of the Crips.

[North Face]

True that and the first fight which happened in the 70s againts the Crips and Pirus which ended up a Crip victory due to more presentness of the Crips.

[cashville]

jamie foxx did good in this one

[wizdom]

hot movie. i agree it didnt show too much of his backround. i wudda been better if they showed in depth how the wars got started and shit

[DiaBo]

What was the name of that blood gang stanley and the crips was chasing?

[ablackmanlookin]

I have finally seen it and thought it was very good. Jamie played the part very well and depending how much the budget was they couldnt tell every detail of his life. I think people need to take heed to his message and not focus so much on them not showing fighting and killing.

[good ol watts]

this movie sucked, they coulda made this shit hella raw released in theatres n shit , how the crips started, instead they had this nigga jamie fox with his pigtails lookin liked rolled up fritos dyed black , nigga looked like a star trek characters n shit

[Tuco]

Could been better. Should been made in an "epic" way with Ving Rhames as Tookie and with Big Spike behind the camera or, let's be crazy, Oliver Stone.
