Terrence Howard stars as a hard-living Memphis hustler who has dreams of becoming the next rap superstar in this gritty and inspirational story of struggle and redemption on life's mean streets. A gritty fairy tale of dreams deferred, HUSTLE & FLOW infuses the torpor of the Memphis ghetto with electric tension. Terrence Howard delivers the performance of a lifetime as DJay, a pimp and drug dealer eking out an existence with his three whores, one of whom, Shug (Taraji P. Henson, HOLLA), is hugely pregnant. Nola (Taryn Manning, 8 MILE) turns tricks from the backseat of DJay's beater, while Lexus (Paula Jai Parker, LOVE CHRONICLES), the hustler's high-maintenance girlfriend, strips in a cellar-like club. DJay's dissatisfaction is increasing as he senses that life has nothing more in store for him, but a chance encounter with an old school friend, Key (Anthony Anderson, KING'S RANSOM), reignites his musical aspirations. Key is a small-time recording artist, and DJay, armed with a notebook full of lyrics, pays him a visit at home, much to the displeasure of Key's prim and proper wife (Elise Neal, PLAYA'S BALL). Initially dubious, Key agrees to partner with DJay after hearing his stuff, and the two build a makeshift recording studio in DJay's back room, enlisting the aid of a skinny white boy (DJ Qualls) with an unlikely talent on the drum machine. There unfolds the triumphant meat of the story, where, against all odds--and after a few bouts of infighting--everyone pitches in to cut DJay's crunk demo.
Essentially a rags-to-riches story, director Craig Brewer avoids the saccharine through his achingly human portrayal of the characters. DJay is fraught with an undeniable misogyny that colors his otherwise sympathetic angst, and Howard portrays that complexity with grace and soul. With John Singleton in the producer's chair, HUSTLE & FLOW strikes an unprecedented balance between feel-good fare and unstinting urban drama, in what amounts to a powerful depiction of the pain and poignant struggle of those who populate this often-misinterpreted milieu.

THEATRICAL RELEASE Hustle & Flow Reviews: "HUSTLE & FLOW transcends its gangsterfied origins to become an unexpected contemplation on the transformative power of art."
-- Ali Jaafar, Sight and Sound Included in Entertainment Weekly's Top Ten Films Of The Year -- "[A] gritty, lived-in, up-from-the-streets fable, as compulsively watchable as SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER or EIGHT MILE..."
-- Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly "The home-recording sequences in HUSTLE & FLOW are funky, rowdy, and indelible. Brewer gives us the pleasure of watching characters create music from the ground up, beat by beat, take by take."
-- Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly "It's certainly live, with fine performances and a strong soundtrack..."
-- A. O. Scott, New York Times "Things go brutally wrong for DJay but hauntingly right for Brewer and Howard, who create explosive entertainment."
-- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone "[T]he vibrant details of setting and characterization freshen the journey."
-- Stacey Farber, Movieline's Hollywood Life "The best thing HUSTLE & FLOW has going for it is Terrence Howard's powerful performance….The urban setting is grittily real. We can almost feel the sticky heat..."-- Claudia Puig, USA Today Hustle & Flow | List Price | $12.99 (You save $4.44) | | Studio | Paramount Home Entertainment | | Orig Year | 2005 | | DVD Encoding | Region 1 | | All Time Sales Rank |  4159  | | CD Universe Part number | 6983798 | | Catalog number | 345654 | | Discs | 1 | | Release Date | Jan 10, 2006 | | Rating | R (MPAA) | | Rating Reason | sex and drug content, pervasive language, and some violence | | Also Known As | Hustle and Flow | | Running Time | 115 Minutes | | Additional Info | Widescreen | | Movie Details | Color; Widescreen |

This movie is off the hook! I have watched this movie four times already and I am still not sick of it. I thought all the actors/actresses played their parts very well and I thought the movie did a good job showing the Southern Rap Music culture. All in all this movie is a classic in my opinion.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Awful
I think this movies was awful. Terrence Howard tried to play a southern man and I think he was awful. Do not let him play a part like that again. He was not good. Anthony Anderson & Ludacris was very good in it, like always.
