I wanted to see this movie after watching "Black snake moan" as it was directed by Craig Brewer. The subject matter was uncompromising, and I was left a little surprised how well the director got the audience on the main character's side. Our hero as time pressed on, pulled your strings into desperately wanting him to succeed, turning Hollywood's endless moral concept into a subjective approach, and hence it's audience view on morality on it's head

Terence Howard plays a Memphis panderer, with three women, who is desperate to get out of his circumstance, he puts his whole heart and soul into releasing a track entitled "Life is hard for a ..." who he hopes to market to the local Dr Dre equivalent producer, "Skinny Black" played by Ludacris.

The views of women and their treatment is a little shocking for mainstream Hollywood, and I would understand immediately why the movie didn't stand a chance of winning an Oscar for best actor for Terence Howard, however I understood why it won best song, with the full weight of MTV behind it, the expletives that is so common with many contemporary songs takes on a deeper meaning here; you are immediately transported into his world, dealing with drugs, and the various troubles he faces in his life, you wish for our protagonist to stop his lifestyle, he says he knows it is wrong, and doesn't want to do it forever, your heart goes out to him in his desperation to get out of the life he has found himself in, it is painful and uneasy to watch, but it is mesmerizing viewing nonetheless.
