Dorathen Better Late Then Never

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Rasmus The film portrays the life (and death) of a few young afro-Americans living in Washington DC. It shows how two young men start selling drugs to make a living, even though one of them (in the beginning) is rather reluctant, his friend persuades him to get in on it. At first all is well, they're making lots of money and nobody bothers them. But it doesn't last, at some point it just starts going wrong. The two drug dealers both wants to get out. But once you're in it's hard to let go. And things just get more and more out of control. An excellent film all in all, as it makes a really important point as to why crime doesn't pay, why revenging a person by killing the murderer is incredibly wrong (which also, indirectly, takes a swing, and hits spot on, at the death sentence. And if after you've seen the film, you sit down and take a moment to think about it, the title couldn't be more perfect.

vmarthirial Considering Mr. Freeman one of the best actors ever, I did not think twice about getting this film out of the rental store's shelf.What a surprise.The movie is incredible, the actors are so real, everybody shines with realism, so uplifting, god, this is a movie to be placed right next to all the classics.No, wait, I am thinking about another Morgan Freeman's movie... because anything else he has made has a merit, even the Pawnbroker.Not this waste. Guilty by association is that exactly. Morgan Freeman just gave the name to this junk but the actual film is an insult to anything artistic, intelligent or constructive.The only thing this miserable film can do for Mr. Freeman is to corroborate that his undisputed talent is stronger than the worse waste of film strip known to modern times.

Hernan Martinez Guilty by Association is a case study in misrepresentation. The trailer that was included in the DVD extras gives the impression that the movie will be an taut urban action thriller with Morgan Freeman chasing down a child killer. Instead, we get a preachy second rate faux-docudrama about a drug partnership gone bad.The trailer was far superior to the movie. The trailer has tension, action, and pacing. Perhaps the trailer editor is the one who should have made Guilty by Association. The movie is at times laughably amateurish and often downright insulting to the viewer's intelligence.The stupidest scene (among others) is where a cop calls the murdered child's mother to tell her that her kid has been murdered. Excuse me? Anyone with enough brains to hit the "off" button on the remote knows that this is a sensitive situation that would be handled in person by the cop.All that can be concluded from this poor effort is that Morgan Freeman must have owed someone a BIG favor. That's the only explanation for his being Guilty by Association with this movie.

Devans00 I picked this movie up at the video store because of Morgan's prominant picture on the cover. If he was in this movie more than 5 minutes total, I'll eat my dog's dog food. What a disappointment. I'm willing to sit through sub-par acting to watch Morgan Freeman flare across the screen like a shooting star, but he didn't get enough time to do anything.
