But what starts out as a partnership which promises to get them both out of the projects, soon turns rotten as money comes between the two. As loyalties are divided, anger and violence erupt... destroying anyone who gets in the way. Innocent victims get caught in the crossfire and its up to one man, Police Lieutenet Redding (Morgan Freeman) to take matters into his own hands and stop the needless deaths before it's too late.

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
I was shocked when I saw this movie after renting it from blockbuster! Freeman about 10 minutes in the whole movie, OK maybe 15! I was amazed at the cheap way he was sliced into the movie. I guess he was trying to help the producers sell this movie! The story line has been done before remember Menace to Soceity?
I only rented the movie because Morgan Freeman was in it and it turns out he wasn't really in it at all. He should be ashamed to associate his name with this trashy effort - I can't even call it a movie. It is a shame I can no longer associate Morgan Freeman with quality films without first checking reviews. Thanks for the opportunity to trash this stinker. The doggie style scenes did it for my grown up daughter. It was the final straw in an already straw ridden catastrophe.
This movie has an awesome plot, and a very important message behind it. The problem is, due to the most annoying and bad acting I have seen recently, this movie bombs.Even Morgan Freeman can not save this one. He is seen for maybe a total of ten minutes during the entire film. His role is to say the least, meaningless.The thing is, if you can suffer through the bad acting and the slow pace that this movie goes at. It does have an important message about what gangs, drugs, and violence lead to.I do not recommend this movie.
I just rented this stupid Guilty by Association movie on DVD last night. It is sad that someone made this movie to waste my time. Anyone who wants to rent this movie beware, because it absolutely sucks. Pure and simple. Don't be fooled because of Morgan Freeman being in it. He was dubbed in at one point where he is standing in front of a mirror looking at this guy being interrogated. Do not rent this movie. It deserves less then 2 stars. It deserves negative stars for the fact that a vaccum cleaner can't even suck that much. It is stupid as hell. I am not worried about the movie's low budget. I hate it for the fact that the main character is talking and then he dies at the end and of the movie and talks about how he died. He says, "but most of all I lost my life." He's mysteriously telling a story from the grave. The acting is stupid. Any high school drama student could act at least 19 times better then the acters in this movie. THIS MOVIE IS SAD. I could act better then that. This movie deserves a B for low budget. Damn it sucks.
