On the verge of hitting the big time, two childhood friends from Queens see their partnership in crime begin to falter as their ambitions take them on separate paths. Direction: Hype Williams Actors: DMX, Hassan Johnson, James Parris. Special Features: Anamorphic16x9, Widescreen format. Language: English / Sub. English, Spanish Year: 1998 Runtime: 95 minutes Review: The opening will stick with you for years 😁 - It's a classic that stands out from many movies like that came out around those times. Due to some stylish direction and memorable visuals along with a very solid DMX performance it's well worth owning. Any Gummo fans out there will get a big surprise. Odd pairing, Harmony Korin and DMX. So happy I was actually sent the 2 disc special edition version. Review: all time favorite movie - this has always been my all time favorite movie not only for the actors ( who i always loved because of their lyrics of hip hop) but because they were actually good for rappers turned actors. WAAAYYY better then part 2. if you dont like this movie then you dont know your hip hop and the hip hop culture. also you just dont get the urban movies and the life style. 5 stars./ i would give 100 but they dont have it.. also i got my dvds from theis supplier way faster then i thought . in 3 days

Highly disappointed
I was highly disappointed when I read the reviews for this product giving it anything less than five stars. Before you watched the film, you should have known what it was about. That's why there are MOVIE TRAILERS. Watching the film for myself, I knew what to expect. For me, it was all that and more. Yes, it was based around drugs, violence and sex, but it was so realistic as to what's going on in today's society, minus women killing their children, teachers having sex with children, rape and other everyday sagas that the world faces. For a dose of reality, I would definitely recommend this film. It's not far from the truth. Maybe not in the neighberhood it was filmed in, but not far from the truth. Furthermore, the movie is suppose to be fiction so why would it depict actual neighberhoods that these type of things go on in?

Peak 90s neo-noir
If there's ever a film that captures the pure stylistic essence of 1990s neo-noir it's Belly (1998) by Hype Williams. Sure the story could've had some better writing in some areas & the acting quality varies from actor to actor (DMX is the best & most intimidating of the bunch). But the soundtrack, cinematography, lighting & direction is what carries it amazingly from beginning to end. I definitely recommend Belly if your getting into the neo-noir genre.
O**!
A most enjoyable video.
The video was extremely interesting, and it was delivered on time.

ヒップ・ホップ、スカーフェイス、スコセッシ、MTV
ハッキリ言います!レビューのタイトルの単語の中に感じるものが2つ以上あるならこのビデオは「買い」です!主演はいまやメジャー系の映画の一枚看板として客を呼べる男になった感のあるラッパーDMXとイースト・コースト・ラッパーの中でも最も人気のあるNasで、2人をメインにギャングスタ・パラダイスなお話をMTVのラップのビデオ・クリップで人気を博したハイプ・ウィリアムスがポップにMTV魂を注入しながら転がしていったって感じの作品です。 お話はというと、メインの2人がクラブのたたき(強盗)等で手に入れた金をもとに、ドラッグ・ディーリングをはじめてどんどん深みにハマっていっちゃうっていった感じで、アフリカ系アメリカ人の若者に焦点を置いたなら当然こんな作品ができるでしょう、まんまのステレオタイプ的な映画なんですよ!! だからといって、見るべき点はないってことではなく、この作品から漂うヒップ・ホップ文化が好きな人には分かるであろう雰囲気ってのがたまらなくイイんですよ。まず監督が面白いヒップ・ホップのビデオを連発してるハイプで燃えます!(ハッキリ言ってMTV出身なだけにヴィジュアル的にはいいけど長編映画となるとツライとこもあります!)次に、ラッパーたちからの支持率の高い名作「スカーフェイス」へのオマージュ捧げてますよ感もイイ!また、「スカーフェイス」同様、さまざまな映画でラッパーたちに影響を与えている監督マーティン・スコセッシ(「カジノ」「グッドフェローズ」)も少し入ってる感じがして、なんか、ハイプ,DMX,Nasが「俺たちのレコードやビデオでもうけた金で、「スカーフェイス」やスコセッシっぽいカッコイイ映画作ろうぜ」って盛り上がって、本当に作っちゃったって感じの作品で何度も言うようだけどヒップ・ホップ好きにはたまらない作品にしあがっています。 英語は難しい!ストーリーもあんまいいとは言えない。しかし、この映画見るのはそれを超えたヒップ・ホップ文化の持つ独特のかっこよさ(悲しさってのもあるけどそれはねぇ・・・エンターテインメントだし)があるからです!まあ、ハイプのビデオ・クリップ90分版として見てもいいかも。日本版も出ないだろうし、ヒップ・ホップ好きなら買って!No Doubt! Peace!って感じ!
