HGG is one of Denzels most important roles. Most complex. It birthed his complexity on that 'is he a villian or a hero?' type roles he's done since then
Training Day, Flight, American Gangster-nomnated for all of those. Also John Q...
I would've said HGG up until about a month ago, when I rewatched it for the first time since it came out. Have yall seen that movie recently? It does not age well.
Outside of Denzel's acting, I didn't care for HGG. I understood Ray's motivations for what he did though. Ray's acting I couldn't get over. Jeez was it bad

Above the Rim..its full of unintentional comedy with Leon playing invisible basketball and breaking people off with finger rolls and line drive jumpers, Wood Harris as an enforcer..Pac as Birdie, Eric from the Real World as a top recruit..if its on TV I watch until the end, HGG comes on I might watch for 5 mins and change the channel.
Really?
Denzel was robbed of Oscar nod for He Got Game. It's much deeper movie talking sport politics, problem of blacks lured by money and greed in capitalist world and son-father relationship in one movie, while ATR was below average drama centered around win or loose basketball theme. There is no competition here and honestly Pac's cartoonish role was his worst in career.
Above the Rim has comedy and lines i still use to this day.
"Boontz! Winner gets mad, crazy...boontz!"
"A one on bum. Yo this goin down in history"
"Mama rockin back n forth talkin bout Ol Shep, Ol Shep...yo i cant believe my brother this fukin WEAK!"
one question that may never be answered is how/why did they have a bball court on the edge of a rooftop.

and I never thought Jake was a villain in HGG. Dude jus lost his temper once and it cost him his family. Everybody makes mistakes.
