Paid in Full

2002 · 1h 38m · Action, Crime, Drama

IMDb 7.0 Metacritic 49 RT 53%

Paid in Full has the gritty energy and solid cast to make a fun crime drama night, but the critical consensus is mixed for good reason—it's more style than substance. If you're craving some '80s Harlem nostalgia and don't mind a formulaic rise-and-fall story, go for it; otherwise, there are stronger crime dramas out there.

Plot

Ace is an impressionable young man working for a dry cleaning business. His friend, drug dealer Mitch, goes to prison. In an unrelated incident, he finds some cocaine in a pants pocket. Soon, Ace finds himself dealing cocaine for Lulu. Via lucky breaks and solid interpersonal skills, Ace moves to the top of the Harlem drug world. Of course, unfaithful employees and/or rivals conspire to bring about Ace's fall.
