...[The film] speaks eloquently....Plenty of sense underlies ORIGINAL GANGSTAS...

...[A] contemporary shoot-'em-up with a conscience....OG works as an action flick, but also as an effective lament for a lost generation... -- Rating: B+

Rating: 58/100 -- Despite its good intentions, Original Gangstas isn't very good.

This is solid action fare with saggy bits, but there's enough ass-kicking, Molotov cocktail-throwing and gunfire to keep their erstwhile fans amused, and the screenplay cleverly knits the old traditions of Shaft together with Boyz 'n' the Hood. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- Think Boyz N the Hood meets The Mod Squad.

Where Original Gangstas works is in its understanding that the stars are playing the characters they created 25 years ago as their older selves. Full Review

Product Description:

When their old neighborhood in Gary, Indiana, falls prey to an epidemic of gang violence, the now-middle-aged founders of the gang return to clean up the streets. An action film tempered by a conscience, this film stars several icons of the 1970's Blaxploitation era.
