if it wasn not by the performance of morgan freeman and kathy baker and i would have give 5 star to street smart and but such performance elevate the category of a modest movie . i do not like the plot of the movie and but at least this movie doesn not bore you and keep you entertain and this movie be similar to the police movie make for tv and and i like the shot of different part of ny . the plot of the movie be about a journalist who invent a story about the life of a fictitious pimp call tyron that be publish in the magazine where he write . the law confuse this factitious pimp tyron with real life pimp fast black ( morgan freeman ) who be be accuse for murder and so the law ask the journalist to deliver all his note and tape about his interview with the pimp to arrest fast black . there be 2 great scene in the movie and in one scene the journalist be seduce by punchy and who be one of the girl of fast black and where kathy baker who play plunchy look really sexy ( 10 star for her in this scene ) . and the other scene which be the best in the movie from an act point of view involve the character of morgan freman and kathy baker and you will know what scene i mean when you see it . in short you have to watch this b movie for the performance of morgan freman and kathy baker .
