2 G's & a Key (2000)

To me, this movie is perfection.

Fantastic!

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

2 G's and a Key seems to start out like a buddy comedy--Warren and Curtis are drug runners working for Andre, the rich and powerful dealer from Bel-Air. Warren is all business, but Curtis is just out of prison and wants to have some fun. On the way to their first delivery, they stop off at Leticia's house--she's an old acquaintance of Curtis'--and in a few minutes Curtis has made a bad choice that will set up the conflict for the rest of the movie. By tampering with the cocaine he was supposed to deliver, Curtis has angered Andre, the low-level street dealer he was bringing it to, and the dealer's customers. On top of that, he has a very determined rival in Sadd Dogg, another dealer who believes Curtis still owes him a back debt. The movie then gets to a point where Curtis and Warren are in so much trouble that there is no going back, and I started to realize that this movie wasn't going to be a light-hearted comedy.The character of Curtis is hopefully a warning to other young viewers who do not take their responsibilities seriously. In every situation, he was distracted by thoughts of more enjoyable pursuits, until her eventually is responsible for getting Warren killed. I was surprised when the movie crossed that line, but it added an extra gravity to the story. I hope impressionable young viewers were also taking note when Curtis was mourning the loss of his friend, promising him that, "I'm going to make it up to you." Even in death, Warren still has to listen to Curtis' lame excuses.Except that Curtis really does change. He enacts a plan for revenge that ends up taking down both Sadd Dogg and Andre in one final confrontation in a loft. As the movie ends, we see that Curtis is a responsible adult not, albeit as the head of another dealing outfit. However, this is a case where the ending of the movie was so good, it helped make the story as a whole that much better. What I really liked was that Curtis had assumed the role previously filled by Andre--successful businessman, responsible, admonishing his dealers to not mess with the merchandise or any other drugs. Leticia is part of his operation and mentions to the young runners that Curtis "lost a homing messing with the merchandise." Finally, the cycle is complete as we see the young runners pulling away in a Jaguar Curtis has provided. They are arguing about taking the car to visit some girls. One of them is being responsible like Warren was, saying that they need to stick to business, while the other guys sounds like Curtis used to, saying that it will only take a minute, and that they should take advantage of the opportunity to show off the ride.This movie made me want to find more of the movies by the director, Paul Wynne. I don't pretend to believe that it was "realistic" or "authentic," but I was entertained.

I really like this movie and have been searching to buy it again. Loaned a recording of it to a friend and never got it back. Have been wanting to watch it and have been searching for years now. Pleeeeeaase send me any helpful information as where I can get this. Definitely, a keeper!! Can you send any, I mean ANY, website information as to where I can purchase this movie, VHS or DVD. I've even told others about it, and because it's not a blockbuster, no one's heard too much about it. Can you also tell me if you know of any other movies with same kind of feel? It totally caught me by surprise, and I do watch movies like that regularly on weekends or weekdays, no matter. Thanks so much! My eyes lit up when I saw the results of finding it!

So there I am flipping through all the channels when I see Conroe Brooks. Conroe Brooks?? Hey I know that I guy, I went to highschool with his sister. And wow the movie just came on. I watched the whole thing start to finish, and let me tell you at 4 am the movie has gotta be good, for me to pass up sleep that is. The acting was superb. I enjoyed the characters and the little idiosyncrasies each one had. Two things about the movie I didn't like though: one was the editing. I felt that editing was a bit choppy. Just a bit. Not alot, not enough to say, "Dammit what is up with choppy editing crap! Dammit!" but, enough to say, "Hmm...why did the director choose to insert that shot here," and so on, which you should not be asking during a movie in the first place. Your suppose to be thinking about the movie. And the other thing was (u thought I forgot) was the script. I felt the script was good but a bit contrived. Other than that it was a good movie and I enjoyed the amateurish film quality about it. If you are into low-budget indy films than you will like it alot. If your into flashy, run and gun, crazy, blow your house up and kill your pets, while dancing with an uzi, type of shindig, this one has its moments. And if your (shut up Jonathan, sorry sometimes I ramble) Anyways good movie!! And good job Conroe, congrats!

Yes, As one might assume from the title 2 G's and a key is a modern classic. Not only is the acting superb. Aaron Spears who plays "Sad Dog" the drug dealer is incredible gives a feeling like he really does sell crack to kids. He is eviler than Jack Nickolson in the Shining and Ten times the actor as Jack ever was or could be. The screenplay was clever and was full of twists. It potrated the crack ridden' streets of the ghetto beautifully with incredible cinamotgraphy.IT worked on so many diffrent levels. On one you have the powerful adn moving story of a drug dealer and his hatred for life. on another level you see the influence of Trufo' and Niche. The movie takes surrelelism to the next step. IT is as if Salavador Dali himself painted this story, it is like magic. This movie is incredible it is up there with Commando, and Scream 3. SO next time you are thinking about renting "Gone with the wind" or "Citizen Kane" Instead of wasting your money on that outdated crap take out the modern classic " 2 g's and akey"
