Great Film: State Property 2
Better Than The First
Maybe Not a classic but this film is decent.A big step up from the
first one better characters,better acting and better funnier scenes but
this movie has too many problems.It's Very long,the pacing is strecth
out,and the plot just like the first is very confusing but in the end
it's not bad for a gangster film.
The film leaves off where Beans The main character from the first film
has been sent to jail for lots of reasons and crimes.now he is serving
15 to 30 years in jail.in jail he meets a couple of new characters Free
and "El pollo loco" who help him to get out of jail if he decides to
join together to become the number one guys in Philly.but the only way
is stopping them is Beans' rival Dame who still has a score to settle
with Beans and doesn't like the fact that he isn't given a shot to
become number one in Philly.so both crews from Beans and Dame go at
each by killing each others robbing each other and etc.when Beans comes
out of jail he's mad that his crew has been slacking and making him
look bad while out of jail him and Dame confront each other and they
find out that they were getting played by "El Pollo Loco" in the end
Beans and Dame team up to get back at "El Pollo Loco" but Loco finds
out that his close friend betrays him just to get money and he sets up
the whole thing about Beans and Dame Loco finds out and Kills him in
the end and Beans and Dame have ended there beef...For Now.
Now the plot at first is straight forward but just gets lost and
confusing at times With too many flashback scenes that have you lost
but if you watch it a couple of times you may understand it.The pacing
is long and drags.but the reason why is that this movie is a little
long so maybe that's the reason.
as for Character development it has stepped up since the first film.You
know a lot more about Beans and Dame's characters how they started,how
they became drug dealers the thing about Beans and Dame is both are
drug dealers but have different personalities Beans' is rough,tough and
does it the dirty way.While Dame does it professionally and clean
without getting his hands dirty it sucks that this development wasn't
shown in the first.
As for the acting it's a mixed bag.there are no stand-out or memorable
performances but it's decent.For Beanie Sigel he has step his acting
game a little bit and show inspiration and that thugness that makes his
role believable.same goes for Damon Dash as he fits in his role and
plays his role so smoothly and is having fun with his role.N.O.R.E.
does a good job playing the comical "EL Polo Loco" as his character
brings the humor into the film and gives an a good performance.Freeway
is given yet a Dean-pan role so I can't say much about his performance
Omillio Sparks gives the same performance that he gave in the first and
isn't as funny as he was in the first film just annoying.as for the
rest of the actor the all do a so-so job so good,some bad.
Overall it's a decent movie go watch it if you haven't seen it.
