Great Movie!!
nikdiamonds13 February 2011
I think this is a great movie! It was well written and executed. The movie played out well and the ending really surprised me. I really loved the score and the scenery was awesome. The storyline had me hooked from the beginning. I never saw that ending coming. The actors did a good job. This movie was not your ordinary urban flick, it had depth. The narration made you feel like you were involved. Like you probably knew someone going through the same thing. The clarity of the film was great. There were also a lot of funny moments in the film. I've watched it 3 times now and each time I caught something else that I didn't notice the first time I saw it. Way to go and I look forward to hearing more from this team.

I want more!
cheyrecognized18 March 2011
I was so pleased with this movie! It didn't go off track or bore me at all. This should have hit mainstream hard! I was shocked with the twists that had me hanging off my seat, heart pounding, and wanting more. This film gives a look into more than just an Indie artist on the grind. It teaches you lessons in life that most people over look. It opened my eyes to some things around me that I tried to ignore. It was real to life. I've seen many other movies where I could tell it was not so much reality and truth. The writer, and actors won me over. My 62 year old mother even loved it! I tell everyone about this movie. This won't be one of those DVDs that collect dust on a shelf.

Good quality low budget movie. well written with good acting.
mreus66610 February 2011
I was presently surprised by this movie. It was a well done effort on a small budget. It smart enough to keep me interested throughout. The main character was very gripping and came across well as the bad guy that you cheer for. If you like a good gangster thriller I think this will work for you.

Pros: Storyline Good acting from main characters Writing

Cons: Bad acting from some supporting characters

Would like to see more from this film maker. La Monte Edwards (writer/director) will have a bright future. Hopefully people will be open minded and take this for what it is. Don't understand what some people expect from indies.

Another Cult Classic
bailey-2897828 July 2015
I received this movie in the mail a few years ago. At that time my company owned movie rental kiosk and I held a portion of responsibility for dictating which movies made it into the kiosk for rent. While I wasn't able to convince my executives that the movie should go into the kiosk - I became an instant fan of this movie and as I began to tell dang near everyone I knew about this flick, it seemed I was behind in times because folks already knew about it, loved it and classed it as a cult fav along with the likes of Belly, Get Rich or Die Trying and State Property to name a few. I look forward to more from the writers, directors and cast...overall - take a watch, you will not be disappointed. This is one you will find yourself watching over and over again.

good movie
shewanda3914 April 2012
i watch the movie last night and I usually do not watch movies like this base on violence and drugs. This movie I caught about 30 minutes into it and it grip me until it went off. Some of the actors that support the main character of Carter was a little dry, his girlfriend, but every one else was great. I told my husband about this movie and I will buy it. The main character his attitude that grabs you in and the lady that was trying to help him get a deal, was played perfect and i can see how she got hook into the story. I am really looking forward to the next movie by this man. We need to support and i really think it gave us a look into the movie business. I hope he has a book base on this movie i would buy it

Will be in my "Cult Classic" Section
coachstevenson8 June 2020
Like other Urban crime stories, The King of Paper Chashin had the usual Hip Hop Video dreams. This however was far from a straight to DVD Independent swap meet special. In these films you can usually tell how it will end about a quarter of the way through.. Not KOPC!! Not many films with relative no names (Sorry y'all) has such defined characters. My hood senses were going off and I was torn in some instances. Carte Blanche became one of my favorite "Hood" Anti Heroes, Worth a night at the house with a lil company...You will be pleasantly entertained,

Wow
shadik_30 December 2014
The acting could've been a lot better. But they did the build the characters pretty well. For a independent film, this was better then 80% of Hollywood movies. I mean at least this movie you couldn't guess what was to happen next. I dig it. I think if they read did it with better actors, then a lot of you haters would be rating it a 8 or 9.

I think they could've um slowed the movie down a little bit to let certain parts of the move settle in. That would be the suspense that it was missing.

The rapping wasn't all that great but that was cool because it allowed you to focus on the personalities of the actors and their relationships.

Not bad. Bless

This was definitely a nice lil movie to find.

Great.

5 Stars
jasiamera2 July 2011
Very excited, I happen to catch this on cable TV and it kept my interest entirely. No Movie is perfect, but I highly recommend as I am going to purchase to support Director and actors alike. 5 Stars from me all day. DL did his thing and so did the other actors, I am not always the biggest fan of the typical gangster/Rapper movies, but this one was a little more realistic than most films of these types. The suspense kept me from switching channels to surf around is a testimony to the good job I think was done on this film. I look forward to seeing more of his work, and if any of these are aspiring actors, Hey I wish them all the best.

i loved it
gabrielle12711 February 2011
i loved every moment of the movie from beginning to end especially "DELL" UGHH SO SEXY but overall a very good movie i think it should get more recognition than it did, it kept me interested it didn't drag, it had action it was was a total package movie for me i would recommend this movie definitely.I was very satisfied with my purchase and it's a film that i could watch over and over again still having the same feeling i had during the first watch. The characters did a very good job "Dell" was the best in my opinion. carter was good also.this film reminded me of a couple of movies all together in one. if you want good acting, with a story thesis that you can relate to because things like this really do happen in real life, and you like action with a little sexual content here and there then this is the movie to purchased i promise you that you will not be deceived by any means.
