I wasn't going to watch Belly after reading all the terrible reviews it got but then a film student I know told me to watch it so I took a chance on it. And was I suprised, Hype Williams is remarkable. Great cinematography. Unfortunately the casting wasn't the best and the story could have used some changes. I understood the story rather easily but Ox (the jamacan drug lord) needed a translator. Anyways, if you like movies about street life and enjoy hiphop, I recommend.
