Crappy film

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

I have read this book and bought the DVD collection. I would really like to know how DeAndre is doing now. I love the book as well as the series It couldn't have been done any better I really felt these people's pain.Does anyone know how Fran DeAndre Tyreeka or DeAnte are doing now. I would really like to give DeAndre some words of encouragement. I felt a connection with him. In fact I felt a connection with all of these people even though we come from two different worlds. This book and this series will forever be in my heart and I wish the best to everyone involved. And if anyone has any information on these people I would really appreciate a reply.This story touched my heart so much that I drove 15 hours straight to Baltimore to the corner of fayette and monroe just to see some of how it really is. I cant say how much I am truly touched.

The subject matter of this miniseries was not pleasant to watch or digest but it held my attention the entire time. It was extremely gripping and wonderfully acted. Khandi Alexander in particular should be applauded for her fantastic performance.

Due to to positive reviews on IMDB and because I am a fan of Charles S Dutton I decided to purchase the DVD and I was amazed by what I saw. The acting is amazing and convincing, the writing is exceptional and the camerawork adds a gritty feel to the series. This is one of the best series I have seen and the fact that it is all true adds to the entertainment and one of the best things is you get to see the real life people which the series is based on at the the end of the sixth episode. This is an important series that should be viewed by everyone. 10/10.

I seen this story over and over again growing up in Newark, New Jersey. I take my hat of to Charles S. Dutton for his Courageous work and dedication to be able to complete 'the Corner', based on the true story. America needed to see this, finally a story that showed the puppet act with strings attached. I recommend this story to be educational with parental guidance. The blessings of some are simply not enough. I really saw hope in the character's: Fran, Blu & Scoogie.
