This is a really good movie from the 90’s. If y’all like drama and gangster movies this one will be great to see

New Jack City is an entertaining movie, but does not quite have the depth, in my opinion, of Boyz N The Hood or Menace II Society. It does do a fairly good job of showing the crack epidemic from the early 90's, and Wesley Snipes's natural charisma makes for a fantastic Nino Brown. New Jack City is energetic and well acted, definitely worth a watch to to get a glimpse of New York in that era.

I love Wesley Snipes,Ice T,Chris Rock, and many more actors in this movie.

New Jack City is one criminally underrated Gangster picture. It's very well made and directed by Mario Van Peebles with an outstanding cast. The hugely underrated Wesley Snipes gives an incredible powerhouse performance as the very intimidating, frighteningly evil drug kingpin (who should've been nominated) and Ice-T, Judd Nelson and Mario Van Peebles are excellent as the cops who are after him. Chris Rock gives a very good and different performance as a junkie as well. The cinematography is beautiful that looks stunning on this wonderful blu ray. It also has one of the best early 90s hip hop soundtracks in movie history. This is a must own especially for fans of the Gangster genre. It's a classic!

By the end of the film, we have a painful but true portrait of the impact of drugs on this segment of the black community: We see how they're sold, how they're used, how they destroy, what they do to people. Filmmakers pull off a provocative, pulsating update on gangster pics with this action-laden epic about the rise and fall of an inner city crack dealer. It's a superior example of what used to be called blaxploitation, with Van Peebles piling on corruption and carnage for all he's worth.
