 Always Outnumbered March 11, 2010
Arnita D. Brown (USA)
An ex-con moves to L.A. to find work and creates a disturbance by fighting for a position. More importantly he touches the lives of many of his neighbors including an older man dying of cancer, a young married couple whose husband is too proud to accept a lesser position which causes strife with his wife, and a young boy on the verge of getting in trouble with street gangs. Laurence Fishburne is superb as Socrates Fortlow in this movie of Walter Mosley's adaptation of his first book of Fortlow stories. Great cast and great story. An excellent movie that I would highly recommend.
Laurence Fishburne III first film was 1975's "Cornbread, Earl and Me" November 10, 2009

Some have reported the 'Apocalypse Now' was his first film, but that's erroneous, his first role was that of a small boy that witnessed a police shooting of an innocent man, 'Cornbread' played by former LA Lakers star, Jamal Wilkes. As far as the review of Always outnumbered, always outgunned goes, all I have to say is, FANTASTIC. Mr. Fishburne does not disappoint and delivers, big time!

Socrates Fortlow, imprisoned 17 years for murder, paroles to a depressed section of L.A. determined to harness the demon of his imprisonment: his anger. Despite being tempted and almost yielding to the demon, he manages to become a community asset. His strength, compassion and controlled rage encompass my favorite performance by Lawrence Fishburne. A must-see inspirational film exceptionally performed.
Delivery and Content Excellent November 17, 2008
C. Ivory (Chicago, IL USA)
This movie was shipped and recieved in a timely fashion. The movie itself is a worthwhile interpretation of an ex-convict's, Socrates Fortlow, efforts to reenter society post-incarceration.
