New Jack City

New Jack City is an American crime film about the Ruthless gangster Nino Brown (wesley Snipes) and his crew (The Cash Money Brothers) who make their way to the top by supplying Crack Cocaine to the streets of New York (Harlem). They spread throughout the streets of  New York like germs literally (Harlem, Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens bridge), and end up making millions of dollars a week. They end up converting the real life complex (graham court) which is known in the film as Carter, into their crack house. As they are making money by baking coke and supplying coke, a cop Scotty Appletion (Ice-T) has his eyes on them and is determined to bring the whole gang down especially Nino Brown.     

Scotty has a deal with a stick up kid Pookie who is also a drug user. The police let him go under one condition which is to help them bring down Nino Brown alongside with his Cash Money Brothers. Scotty recruits pookie to go undercover and work for the CMB brothers to gather information. Unable to resist all the crack cocaine surrounding him, pookie ends up relapsing, high and acting erratically. G money who is Nino Browns right hand man finds out that Pookie is wired. The CMB brothers end up burning the whole complex and destroy any evidence of their criminal activites. 

After Scotty's failed attempt of bringing them down, Scotty decides to go undercover himself and gathers enough information to bring them down. The film ends with Scotty brutally beating up Nino Brown in public and is then sentenced for 25 years.

    Thanks Daniel.

    This is a concise and clearly written summary of the film, which shows detailed knowledge of your subject matter. However, you could make your writing more engaging by putting something of yourself into it. What do YOU think? Why do you like this movie (assuming that you do like it!)? (Thoughts below please.)

    Also, please try to avoid basic errors. Can you please correct this post? Think about the following:
    • Capital letters (for names and places – Wesley, Graham Court, but not for random adjectives – see ‘Ruthless’ – paragraph 1);
    • Apostrophes to show possession. E.g.’ Nino Brown’s right hand man’ – Paragraph 2.
