Blue Hill Avenue (2001)

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

When i start watching "Blue Hill Avenue", my expectations were low(Because it was an independent movie and the quality of the camera was a little bad),but i was wrong. The plot is just awesome and the actors make an excellent work. I really felt the same emotions and adrenaline that the carachters.It's a wonderful Drama/Action movie that everyone should see and it's really a shame that it's so over rated.My final classification is 7 out of 10. It's a powerful movie, with a very good storyline and an excellent acting.A Must-see of Independent movies.

I just wish that there were more amazingly addictive ghetto/drug dramas these days.All of the idiots who gave this movie bad reviews are full of crap because this movie completely owns. Whoever said that this movie has a crappy script or is not believable is a total moron, because this movie is epic.Also they do not use the "f" word too much. If anything uses the "f" word to much it is the south park movie. (but that is a good movie anyway)GO SEE IT!

There was a depressed market for films the last 3 years or so, mainly thanks to the SAG who's 11th hour decision not to strike created a flood of movies on the market. This threw BHA into a tail spin. Also Artisan was in turmoil at the time of delivery and gave Bluehill a very limp release. This is a good movie! I'm not just saying that because I invested in it. I think people need to see it. Allen Payne did a remarkable job. It's a struggle for indie's to begin with, and having things happen like SAG and 911 may have signed the death certificate for this flick. We shall see. As an investor, sorry to say, I have not seen a nickle return on this. Not to say I won't, but it's taking far too long to recoup my coin.Rick

Had the opportunity to see this movie at a free screening. So, that being said that I saw this for free, I thought the movie was okay. It was somewhat predictable, but still worth while. It's basically a movie about 4 childhood friends who get caught up in the drug game. They started off small time marijuana dealers and grow up to be the biggest coke dealers on Blue Hill Avenue.The movie starts at the end, and then flashes back to their childhood. And it progresses on from childhood, back to where the movie started, and on from there. It's almost a typical drug/gangster movie. Except, the ending lacks character development and it doesn't explain why things happened the way they did. Also, there are scenes in the movie which are supposed to be serious, but somehow, they are hilarious.And, for some reason, although I have my complaints about this movie, it's a good movie to have discussions about. I wish I could've taken more people with me to this screening, because I found myself talking about this movie days after I watched it.So, even with its' flaws, when and if this movie ever comes to a theater near you, go see it, you'll at least laugh at the silliness that happens throughout!And the actors really did a great job! It was great seeing Brandon Hammond (Ahmad from the movie Soul Food) in this movie, he did a great job.
