Reviews
Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

He connects with his criminal cousin Carmelo who has insecurity issues. To make up for it he likes to shoot people.

idahart51 For a urban B movie this DVD took off. The story is nothing new about a drug dealer wanting to get out of the business after some hardcore stuff happens to them or a loved one. What made Consignment jump was the truths laced in the story if you know what's up or been there. Didn't have the smell of the fake wannabe gangster crap shown I seen in a car load of urban movies. This one showed what's really moving with drug murders and sex. It goes down for sure. Plenty of action. I gotta give it up on the nudity. What's a gangster movie with out T & A???? They got a Mexcian dame with a banging body working a striptease for some hustlers. It's off the chain!! I have to throw in with the other reviewer Coco about the soundtrack. It's tight. Underground hip hop tracks from Custom Made Recordings and Ayreon The Don pumped the vibe. If you want street action check this one out. Ain't on the level with Menace II Society or Paid In Full. You do get a slick B movie that brings it. I bought this mother for the strip show alone.
Coco Kennedy If your a fan of underground hip hop then you may really enjoy this movie. Honestly the movie was a bit too hardcore and violent for my tastes but my boyfriend enjoyed it. Maybe even a bit too much! With the scenes of women half naked and what not. But all in all I would say it was a decent flick for the gangster genre. I won't give away too much of the story but it may seem a bit cliché at first. But it definitely had some twists and turns that keeps you watching. I would not put it at the level of boyz in the hood or juice but sometimes it's nice to be able to see these "grimey" hood movies. I must agree with the other posters that the soundtrack was definitely bumping as well! A lot of good non-commercial hip hop and reggeaton. It featured underground artists like Custom Made Recordings, Ayreon The Don, Malice & Da Commission and others. Definitely worth checking out as a rental in my opinion.
akwanelmi Consignment is a legit movie about the game. Gets down with the dirty business of dealing speed and killing to keep your respect. One of the more real gangsta movies I've checked out in a while. It has a Black and Latino hook that was real tight. Good to see that spin. This is fresh cuz the way the people spoke and acted rang true. At least a dozen people getting smoked or smoking somebody. Like they say smoke or get smoked. The strip show on this DVD is unbelievable. Some thumping hip hop reggaeton music plays while this hottie dances losing clothes as she goes. That was like a super hot bonus. There are some real bad cats in this joint. I watched Consignment a few times already. If you like movies about drug dealing on the street this is your ticket. Don't skip the deleted scenes on this one cuz they are smoking hot! This is a real strong movie repping the street.
