This rousing basketball drama centers around Tommy "Shep" Sheppard (Leon), a former high school basketball star now haunted by the accidental death of his best friend, and Kyle Watson (Duane Martin), an arrogant high school player in danger of slipping into crime. Though Shep avoids commitment in his life as a security guard, his attraction to Kyle's mother (Tonya Pinkins) draws him out of his protective shell--but Kyle is more interested in mentorship from Shep's gangster brother Birdie (Tupac Shakur). Above the Rim is melodramatic but played with grit and energy by a solid cast, particularly Shakur. Writer-director Jeff Pollack keeps the story moving and gives the characters enough spin to rescue them from being clichés; the result is engaging despite its formulas. Also featuring Bernie Mac and Marlon Wayans. --Bret Fetzer

 Above the Rim August 30, 2010
Jose Lopez (Miami,Florida USA)
Tupac as "Birdie" is great and you have Marlon Wayans in this gritty street ball tale, I love the opening shot song which Ironically only came out on The soundtrack tape instead of the CD? I have the song luckily and of course who can Forget "Regulate"? but songs aside Bernie Mac(R.I.P.) is in there as well and like the rest of the cast puts in great effort.

G. H. D. lll (Plainfield, NJ)
Damn! what a movie its a great situation what do you do when your life is on the line and you have the talent to make it to the NBA. Kyle mess around with the wrong people and he was lucky to live to play at Georgetown. Tupac played a role in the movie and he did a very good job.
