Top 10 Best
Movies of All-Time - Jon Teitel
"5) If I told you it’s a drama about a high school star trying to achieve
his “dream” of playing for Georgetown(!), then you would know it’s not a
recent movie, right? Tupac gained notoriety for his rapping, but his
dark portrayal of a man who goes to great lengths to get what he wants
is very impressive. The plot about trying to use your basketball skills
to escape the inner-city is kind of a tired one, especially with the
single mother and ethical dilemmas. However, while the basketball
scenes are a bit too scripted, the action is exciting, as well as the
dynamic between an indoor high school competition and an outdoor “street
ball” game."
