Not a good movie, but I couldn't stop watching it! There was just a lot of comedy in the fact that everyone was horrible at acting. They need to just stick to rapping! If you enjoy horrible acting and corny exaggeration in a story, then this is the movie for you. Reminded me a lot of the Master P movie "I'm Bout it". I woudld only suggest this film for fans of Cam'Ron and Dip-Set. It is fun to watch your favorite rappers in film, even when its not a good film. It also tells you a little about how they came up, and how they got started. I don't know how much of the story is true, but I like to think it is exaggerated a little.

Killa Season is an okay movie if you look at it as not a real movie. Think of it as a movie Cam and Hell Rell came up with after a long night on the road. 'Hey man we should make a movie' 'yeah we can do all kinds of ****'. Then one day they got the crew together, brought a handycam and gave 20 dollar to a bunch of people in Harlem to be in the movie.
The story is rock solid, a ghetto youth is dragged intro drug dealing, crooked cops, mafioso's, cars and strippers. However everything else is missing, no direction, no acting, no sets, no cinematography, probably not even a script. But for some reason it works. It's watchable.
Keep your eyes peeled for the horse meat with plastic over it, the chocolate sundays with heroin in them, and the baaaaddd acting.
And remember, it was made in a weekend.

AYYYYYY.... It's DIPSET!! Whats really good??Aiight with the album and movie being pushed back heaps and the Jay disses man this was something to look forward to. Unfortunately both the movie and the album were'nt as good as expected.You gotta respect the fact that dude's trying to hustle he isn't exactly 50 Cent in the entertainment sense but his story is alright too... Paid in Full(he needs to thank Mekhi for some of the stuff in there) has had a great influence on his acting!It was a bit lengthy at a bit over 2 hours but the parts with my man bandana (lol) were pretty tight it.I think some of the original footage was pretty entertaining and his claims that he used to ball for real are backed up a fair bit here. Anyways any DIP fan is gonna cop the album and watch it regardless what anybody says!! So till then keep it real or the GOONIES gonna run up on ya YA DIG !!

MAN I FELT LIKE I WASTED 2 HOURS OF MY LIFE AFTER WATCHING THIS PIECE OF CRAP!! This movie shouldn't even be called a movie, it shouldn't even be on IMDb. I mean this movie has no story, no structure, no characters, no message, no nothing. If I actually took my time to write a detailed review I'd probably end up hanging myself for wasting more time than I already did watching this ridiculous pile of steaming crap that was actually supposed to be a movie. If you plan on watching this movie make sure you schedule an appointment with a psychologist for some therapy cause this movie will depress you for giving it the time you have. They ought to take this movie and stick in cam'ron's rear end.
One of the worst straight to video films I had ever seen and I had seen some turds...
QStrum4 September 2006
I would be wasting my time and anyone else's time on sitting here, typing in the details that makes this film a steaming pile. However, the film, like all films, whether it was a straight to video production or a theatrical release, deserves my critique on why this film sucks.
Allow me to start with what worked in this film: the unintentional comedic moments? That's right. Moments and occurrences in the film that was intended on being serious, life altering in the life of Cam'ron, turned out to be hilarious. He was faced with a crisis decision where he had an opportunity to avenge the death of a loved one, but he made the right choice by not sinking deeper into an unredeemable, cesspool of the glorification of young blood being shed and other wrong doings. Instead, he makes a different choice but ruins it still with an uncalled for action (disgusting action rather) that was drop dead uproarious to me. The build up, surfaced by individual close-ups of Cam'ron and his potential, pint-sized victim, made it funnier than it would've been.
On the other hand, everything about this film was pitifully awful.
The writing was the worst. It must've been a script overwhelmed with uneventful moments, no structure, no character arc, no beginning, inappropriate pacing and literally no end. In fact, the film felt longer than it really was.
The directing was pure amateur night at the Apollo, the talent that would get chased off by the sandman. I don't care if a film is low budget, it could still look good with substance in story, character, acting, etc. And the film isn't low budget in my eyes with SAG actors and a big Fresnel lamplight that was used outside for night exteriors, so there's no real excuse for the madness. So, with the proper knowledge of making movies, with zero dollars, it can still look good. The cinematography was way off most of the time with hot areas in the frame that was jarring to me few times. Also, the cameraman/director could benefit from understanding the Five C's of Cinematography (Camera Angles, Continuity, Close-Ups, Cutting, Composition) before calling for the poorly framed close-ups and two shots I was seeing. The editing was inept. The acting really sunk this film to a one star status rather than two stars.
Amongst the entire cast and crew of this steaming pile, there wasn't a single person with some creativity? In this film I saw scenes similar to "Belly" and "Donnie Brasco." Even the DVD cover was reminiscent of his feature film debut, "Paid in Full." I can tell the filmmaker was inspired more by the gangster films he loves out there rather than his own life.
The girl that played his childhood friend was the worse actor in the film. Then his boys were making me sick, with their lame jokes. They made me feel as if I was watching paint dry. Then he (Cam) ruins the end by making it without one. Vomit.
I can go on and on but this film was so bad that it's really not worth my time. I feel as if I sunk a level for even taking the time to rate and comment on it.

This movie is unoriginal and seems longer than it is.

This is yet another rapper's feeble attempt at creating a semi "autobiographical" film about being a hardened drug dealer who does whatever he wants and gets away with it. The lack of novelty and terrible acting would be forgivable if Cam'ron would have decided what he wanted this movie to argue and edited it appropriately. The entire film seemed as though it was made up as he went along, and was pretty much a dull mishmash of gangster movie conventions and clichés. After mucking about for the first hour, confusing all but those who either have an obsessive love of Cam'ron or this film genre, you find out he has a girlfriend (he didn't really have a love interest for the first half of the film) so he drops his pants and does the "look at my ass while I pretend to have sex" love scene that was reminiscent of DMX's scene in "Belly". In fact, this whole movie was just an overwrought rehash of "Belly", without the more focused screenplay and better cinematic qualities of the F. Gary Gray film. After coasting along for two hours (that seemed more like four), full of conclusive scenes that make you think (hope) that it's over, the movie ends in a ridiculous cliff-hanger. I suppose the sequel will contain the only cliché that wasn't thrown in: the car chase. This was an insipid, amoral film that couldn't seem to decide what story it wanted to tell. Watch Belly, State Property, Get Rich or Die Trying, or any of the hordes of other similarly themed films and you won't have to torture yourself with this debacle.
What in the blue hell is this?
PsychoBateman4 June 2006
This is by far the worse movie I have ever seen. Everything about it is bad. The acting, the script you name it. I don't know what you people are smoking but this deserves burned. If you think 50 cent's acting was horrendous then you haven't seen anything yet. Camron acting makes 50 cent's performance in Get Rich or die trying a vintage Al Pacino acting. The supporting cast gives a very very lousy performance as well. I don't know how one of the reviewers in here can give it 10 stars. The plot is just the same old making it big time ala Scarface. It has no originality but if you are in for a good laugh then by god this is your movie right here.
Awesome

Pissing on someone over a dice game. Putting a snitch in trunk with rats. Funeral speech that will put you to tears. Fat dude talking about doggy style sex with an elderly woman at said funeral. Spitting on small girl outside of Papa John's. Gratuitous body mutilation scene. The Cam'ron Scholarship Fund For Crackheads. Two Latinas pooping out cocaine for 5 minutes. Two Latinas washing the cocaine they just pooped out for three minutes. Murder over spot in line at corner store. Corn throwing. Necessary 5 minute scene at strip club in Atlanta. Selling drugs to teachers and security guards.
And finally... Cam'ron's ass crack.
No homo.
Easily the most entertaining film of 2006.
Just watch it and don't really think about what's going on. It's way better like that.

Classic No-Budget Crime-Comedy
quridley16 November 2009
Its the usual modern gangster plot line: people die, drugs are sold, snitches are dealt with. But its the bizarre and hilarious execution of these gangster film clichés that make this film a classic.
Cam'ron seems to be the next Rudy Ray Moore. This movie is gritty, hilariously weird and endlessly entertaining. Its "Menace to Society" directed by Lloyd Kaufman.
The whole thing really comes off like some amazing "backyard film". The dialogue appears improvised. The special effects are hilariously lacking. But everyone gives inspired and interesting performances while just playing themselves.
Plenty of one-liners: "Fuck your bread, Bebe!"
Great for a drunken movie night with friends who love rap music or weird cinema.

This movie was incredibly terrible, it was like they were trying to make the worst movie possible....And they succeeded with flying colors. The acting was pure trash and the killing in the movie was so unnecessary and ridiculous. No one kills that many people for absolutely no reason! Every time I get bored I just put Killa season and skip to the part where he's crying about his niece getting shot and I just laugh for a good 5 minutes, the fake tears and the way his expressions are exaggerated are just too hilarious. In conclusion, you should buy this movie if you want to be a witness to the worst movie on the entire planet, or if you want to laugh at serious scenes that aren't meant to be funny. Other than that the only place this movie belongs is in the garbage, or better yet, in a furnace........lol

This movie is by no means good, but I can't lie and say I didn't stay entertained the entire time. Killa Cam'ron directs, writes, and stars in this movie and bring along dip set heavyweights Juelz Santana and Hell Rell. Cam seams to be trying to follow in the footsteps of 50 Cent's 'Get Rich or Die Trying' film. The movie follows Cam's life as he becomes heavily involved in the drug world. Other than that there is no actual plot. The movie looks incredibly low budget and some may find it hard to watch, but if you can look past the shoddy production and 'acting', you'll stay amused. It also boasts songs from Killa's new album, also titled 'Killa Season'.
I gave it a 10 squarely on entertainment value. Don't expect Scarface.

Great movie
dmcgee0714 May 2006
This is a great movie. What makes this movie so great is the movies own weakness' plays to it's advantage. Instead of using established actors. Camron the movies director chose to use no names actors and rappers out of his own entourage "The Diplomats". Despite certain drawbacks such as a clichéd story line, amateur acting, and some questionable scenes this movie still shines. Cam'ron steals the show in mostly all the scenes. His emotion as an actor really comes across in this movie even more so than in his debut role in Paid in full, and for those who are familiar with the rapper the way that they tie in real life events with the story line to add credibility and believability keeps the viewer entertained. For those familiar with camron and the diplomats this should be a classic movie filled with enough entertainment that will help u over look the amateur acting, and questionable scenes in the movie
Killa Alright!!!!!
ImmaBeast8217 October 2006
"Killa Season" is a film all about Cam'ron. It has nothing to do with characters , plot or even his album (which the movie is titled after) , instead it is about Cam'ron. Cam'ron is as interesting as a Mutant Ninja Turtle. The ironic part is that a Mutant Ninja Turtle would probably act better than he does in this movie. Cam'ron I guess is supposed to be playing himself , but he's not very good or convincing as himself which is sort of sad. Look at Eminem for example who played a character in "8 Mile" who was based on himself and he was terrific. Also,It's embarrassing when Cam'ron tries to show off his dramatic skills and even more embarrassing when he talks. "Killa Season" is pure garbage.
Bad Film
Johnnycitystar7 October 2007
This Movie is disappointing just bad and I mean everything bad.bad plot,Terrible acting,Flat out characters,bad editing everything is bad.
The movie is about Flea(Cam'ron)A everyday person going nowhere in life until he chooses the life of drug dealing to get money and that all I got to say.
Now for the bad parts let me start off with the acting I'll tell You one thing these people do not know how to act everyone is either going over-the-top or just giving a Dead-Pan Performance.the worst acting comes from Cam'ron.For example the scene where his cousin dies he can't even cry or show real emotion.just fake and bad.the only good acting comes from Funkmaster Flex who disses cam'ron in one scene which was the only funny scene that had me laughing and he ain't even an actor.Juelz Santana who plays Bandana is Bad as well who gives a over-the top performance even though his character is so underdeveloped.
Speaking of development there is not one developed character.everyone is flat and Dead-Pan.You don't know nothing from any of the characters so the development is bad.
As for the Plot It's too confusing and lame.The plot just switches from one part to another making you lost.Plus the pacing is long with all these parts about selling drugs and getting money.
Overall Bad movie to stay away from.Really.

Even terrible by no-budget hood-movie standards
Seth_Rogue_One14 October 2014
This movie makes State Property look like a Martin Scorcese flick.
It's just indescribably bad on every level, the acting, the camera work, the plot, the dialog even down to the editing which Cam did by himself may I add.
Shot with a VHS camera I believe, or some crappy system, it's funny that Cam likes to brag about having tons of money but can't be bothered with putting up any money in the making of this movie, the budget is 27 000 dollars which is nothing by todays standards...
To compare it with something, State Property cost 22 times as much to make 600 000 dollars and Menace II Society cost 3 500 000 dollars to make, that's like 120 times as much money as this piece of crap...
Now I'm not saying that a big budget makes a movie better but it's very helpful, especially if none of the crew have any sort of talent within their respective fields...
Still had it had a somewhat coherent plot and if Cam could act just a tiny bit that alone would have gone a long way, unfortunately that is not the case...
And this movie is just so boring, sure there are moments that gets your attention cause they are so absurd such as a scene where 2 women take a crap on the floor to get the coke out that they swallowed, Cam spitting on a 5 year old and peeing on a grown man over a dice-game... Of course Cam makes everyone aware that this act is in no way sexual by saying 'no homo' 10 times while peeing on him R Kelly style...
But those moments are rare most of it is just people talking about nothing or counting money... And it's over 2 hours long!
I'm not lying when I say that this is one of the worst hood-movies I've seen, and I like Dipset and Cam as rappers but they should not be making movies, and if they do at least have one person on set that knows what they're doing...
Even 50 Cent's Before I Self Destruct was better than this, Jesus Christ

What is most difficult to comprehend about this film is that at some point a meeting was undertaken during which it was decided that the film was complete and ready for release. If I had invested in the production of the film and knew somehow it would be hugely profitable, I would have committed sepuku prior to receiving any return on my investment.
Great street flic.....trust my judgement, if u're open minded or not part of 'mainstream' Americans.
chicagodogrow9 August 2007
Killa did a hell of a job with this flic. The plot was on point, and you've got to love this kid's swag. It's basically about Cam trying to get his money up by selling weed at first, but his connect, Gordo, gets him to push that white. Typical, right? SCCCHRRREEEECH! A sudden turn of events pop off when Flea's (cam) niece gets popped (shot). Then the film gets grimy! The acting was OK, but don't ask these close-minded Scorsese-addicts. There's more than one way to act....yet you wouldn't be able to tell by these bias responses.......Certainly worth ignoring.
I can't wait for the next flic. The film ends with a cliffhanger, intelligently setting it up for the sequel. NOW.....I now return you to your regularly scheduled 'blind hate.' U MAD? :)

I'm watching this right now, and it's decent. Better than State Property, but not quite as good as belly. If you're into this kind of cheap fun, go for it, but see belly first. Senseless violence and pervasive racism against everybody. and juelz santana. And fly fur coats. It's filmed in Harlem, and there's no shortage of convenience stores, sleazy law officers, and uptown projects. It makes you miss New York. fade-outs and Papa John's and NYPD. The movie's a highly fictionalized biography, and the central event is the murder of his daughter. Michael williams (omar from the wire) shows up. He's a little too good for this movie, but he gives it a little bit of cred. These are all relative comments; keep in mind that this is an extremely low-budget, badly-written, badly-mixed, badly-shot neo-blaxploitation flick. Music is good, too - Cam'ron and Juelz and Al Green. See it.
