Critic Reviews

An unpretentious, sociologically pointed slice of life.Full Review

Stephen Holden
The New York Times

The movie is ambitious, has good energy and is well-acted, but tells a familiar story in a familiar way. The parallels to Brian De Palma's "Scarface" are underlined by scenes from that movie which are watched by the characters in this one.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

The direction has a fluid, no-nonsense authority, and the performances by Harris, Phifer and Cam'ron seal the deal.Full Review

Desson Thomson
Washington Post

A fake street drama that keeps telling you things instead of showing them, though Mekhi Phifer, playing a hustler who loves the life, is electric and true.Full Review

Owen Gleiberman
Entertainment Weekly

The only victims in Paid in Full are the dealers and their families -- and the only word for that is one this paper can't print.Full Review
