Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

lee-griff It's 2009 and I have just watched the best television drama I have ever seen and it's called 'The Corner'. Having been a late comer to 'The Wire' series on the FX channel in Britain then when that finished they advertised 'The Corner'. I expected the standard ghetto junkie story but 'The Corner' has an emotional pull that hits you right in the guts. I watched the show with friends and everybody was glued to the screen and the room was in total silence during this drama. The acting was incredible and the characters stay with you forever. I can't remember the last time that I genuinely couldn't wait to see the next episode of a programme. In my opinion this show is a lot better than 'The Wire' because it has heart in almost every character and you are desperate to see life improve for them. The Corner deserves a DVD release & I'll be the first in line to buy it. The cast & crew should be very proud of making a modern masterpiece.

fantasyinme As i watched this movie I thought to myself, "what has happened to the black community?" In the movie all the people had to travel outside the neighborhood to get jobs, they all lived inside a huddled corner where drug dealers are allowed to roam freely, and what terrifies me is it looks like its always the black mans fault. Are we truly heathens? Are we that ignorant to see that this hateful deceitful world thrives off purposed intent, that sometimes things happen for a reason?I am not convinced that black people are the sole source of their problems, every time we have tried to unite, we have been robbed of our leaders, every time we try to branch out, we are left the abandoned rubbish that others leave behind to escape us. Its time we wake up, and begin to act like citizens that police our communities rather than losing our people to lifetime sentences, and leaving the children to learn for themselves how wicked life can be.I'm sure that this might be somewhat accurate about the area of baltimore that these people live in, but I also see that any place whites have abandoned, so have the businesses, and the money goes out therefore the jobs are gone, the police force is minimum and the people are stuck with that American dream that tends to contribute to living a good carefree life, you know, like the people we idolized on television?. This does not make sense. Something has got to give.Sure this is not about just us, but about every ghetto across the nation, and right now this isn't about every race, because one race is being targeted in this rough somber picture about neglectful negroes circling inside a make-believe prison of their own internalized fears and physical addictions to chemical incarceration. I am sure that we need to be more rigorous about teaching the youth, being more resilient about how we need to stay close even when we spread apart. This is not just a problem in baltimore, its all over the united states. Something has got to give.

Lor410 "The Corner" was the closest, truest, most honest miniseries I've ever seen that delt with the streets, drugs, and dysfunctional families. Being a recovering drug addict, I never ever seen a film that actually put me back onto the streets, the drugs, and the dysfunction of life. The actors were superb. Their dialogue, gestures, even the look in their eyes, couldn't be more real. I can't compare it to any movies that I've ever seen. I saw what I used to be in this film and they reminded me that I don't want to ever go back. So real, too real, it is real. Thanks Mr. Dutton.

sylock63 "The Corner" is some wonderful television. Everyone should see this to better understand what the hopelessness of inner city life in major American cities is like. I find my self horrified but unable to turn away from the reality of the life this inner city family is trapped in. The most painful sequences are the flashbacks to the life before drugs and the eventual fall into them. It is interesting to watch as the seemingly small decisions the characters make early in their lives change the rest of their years. Watch it if you have the opportunity and if you don't, seriously consider HBO as they have wonderful programming like this all the time.
