Set in the early 1980s, this entry in the African-American urban gangster genre puts character development in the front seat for a change as it rolls through the Harlem streets on its usual rise-and-fall route. Ace (Wood Harris) starts out a laundry delivery guy, but thanks to a chance encounter with a Latin coke dealer (Esai Morales), he quickly works his way to the top of a drug empire. Mitch (Mekhi Phifer) is his more extroverted, colorful pal, the 'born hustler' whose bravado hides a tragic family life. For a while the money just keeps rolling in and everyone's happy, but then comes the inevitable turn to tragedy, heralded by the arrival of the brash, trigger-happy Rico (rapper Cam'ron in his screen debut). A sensitive script and moody direction by Charles Stone III allows PAID IN FULL to sidestep a lot of the cliched glamour of similar films. The violence is realistically depicted, and the ultimate emptiness and paranoia of the lifestyle is allowed to manifest slowly through a nice, low-key performance by Harris. Roc-a-Fella mogul Damon Dash produced, based on the true story of Harlem drug lords he remembers from his childhood, one of whom even served as a technical advisor.

Following the decision of Charles Stone (Paid In Full, Mr 3,000, Drumline) to abandon his role as director on the forthcoming remake of Chloe In The Afternoon, Chris Rock has decided to step into the breach. Rock, who was due to star in the film anyway, penned the script for I Think I Love My Wife, the remake of Eric Rohmer's 1972 comedy, in conjunction with his longtime writing partner Louis CK. The last time Rock took on the role of helmer he co-starred alongside Bernie Mac for Head Of State... Read more
