Items In Movies You Might Be Interested InProduct Details of Hustle and FlowDescription A gritty fairy tale of dreams deferred, HUSTLE & FLOW infuses the torpor of the Memphis ghetto with electric tension. Terrence Howard delivers the performance of a lifetime as DJay, a pimp and drug dealer eking out an existence with his three whores, one of whom, Shug (Taraji P. Henson, HOLLA), is hugely pregnant. Nola (Taryn Manning, 8 MILE) turns tricks from the backseat of DJay's beater, while Lexus (Paula Jai Parker, LOVE CHRONICLES), the hustler's high-maintenance girlfriend, strips in a cellar-like club. DJay's dissatisfaction is increasing as he senses that life has nothing more in store for him, but a chance encounter with an old school friend, Key (Anthony Anderson, KING'S RANSOM), reignites his musical aspirations. Key is a small-time recording artist, and DJay, armed with a notebook full of lyrics, pays him a visit at home, much to the displeasure of Key's prim and proper wife (Elise Neal, PLAYA'S BALL). Initially dubious, Key agrees to partner with DJay after hearing his stuff, and the two build a makeshift recording studio in DJay's back room, enlisting the aid of a skinny white boy (DJ Qualls) with an unlikely talent on the drum machine. There unfolds the triumphant meat of the story, where, against all odds--and after a few bouts of infighting--everyone pitches in to cut DJay's crunk demo. Essentially a rags-to-riches story, director Craig Brewer avoids the saccharine through his achingly human portrayal of the characters. DJay is fraught with an undeniable misogyny that colors his otherwise sympathetic angst, and Howard portrays that complexity with grace and soul. With John Singleton in the producer's chair, HUSTLE & FLOW strikes an unprecedented balance between feel-good fare and unstinting urban drama, in what amounts to a powerful depiction of the pain and poignant struggle of those who populate this often-misinterpreted milieu.

hustle and flowStrengths: Terrance Howard and the message of the movie. I think there should be a part two. Weakness: The movie ended with him in prison Terrance did a wonderful job of portraying a poor down on his luck pimp. He looked as if he was made to play this character.If everyone would take the message of the movie in the positive manner in which it was meant instead of seeing it as another negative black movie then I think Terrance would be a definite winner of an award.

Hustle and Flow
Strengths: Great synopsis, great story line.
Weakness: The fact that he ended up in prison was heartbreaking.
This movie was one of the best movies I have ever seen. Terrnace's performance was "phenominal". He has such a great sense of acting that it almost seemed so real. The music on the soundtrack is wonderul as well. Not that hard, boring, slow rap stuff....music that I can listen to and the words were very strong and heartfelt. I think this movie is going to make it big and I've already spread to...
