Movie: HUSTLE AND FLOW
Director: CRAIG BREWER
Genre: Drama, Musical
Cast:Terrence Howard, Ludacris, Antony Anderson
Duration: 1h 55m (app)

'Hustle and Flow' , a yet another movie of Passion, Hardwork, Failure and Redemption. Hollywood is the forte for movie of these kinds of Stuff. Terrence Howard plays 'DJay' a Pimp, who earns out a living that way despite a sidelined passion for Rap and Hip-Hop. The rest follows the same kind of screenplay made entertaining decorated with a few belligerent jealousies and quarrels and foot-tapping songs which hollywood movies nowadays have begun to find their expertise at.

Antony Anderson plays the friend who gangs up with another fellow to produce a record with DJay. Despite the freeness and high-eliteness with which the filmmaker strains to move the story with, one can never fail to notice the contrived, cliche'd screenplay. Atleast the writer could have put an effort to offer a screenplay that conveys the same old redemptive aspect in a unique way.

But, yes its Hollywood again. they fail in one aspect, they come up with a winner in the another compensating the deficiencies. And here comes the music..rather the OST with four foot-tapping numbers tht glue you to the seat. The songs 'Whoop that trick' , 'Hustle and Flow' and the winner 'Its hard out here for a Pimp' just pull out your heart to enjoy the sequences.

Acting is another part where this Movie banks on. Terrence Howard gives a wonderful performance and so does the other supporting cast. Without the Music and the Cast, this Movie would have been 'Just yet another flick'.
