STREET SMART MORGAN FREEMAN BREAK OUT ROLE

"Street Smart" is not a great movie however Morgan Freeman makes it a must see.  Morgan Freeman had been around for years but when he landed the role ass "Fast Black" in "Street Smart" his career took off and he has been working non-stop ever since.  

What is funny about "Street Smart" was this film was to be the breakout hit the Christopher Reeve was hoping for.  His only box office success was the "Superman" films however Morgan Freeman owns this film and just blows Chris right off the screen.  

The films biggest flaw is that the FILMMAKERS   substitute Canada for New York and is shows.    

Morgan Freeman did receive and Academy Award Nomination for his work here.  He landed the nomination because Siskel & Ebert lobbied for his nomination  via their popular movie review show.  

Rent "Street Smart" it is well worth a rental.
