I entered this viewing experience well-prepared from reading all the other reviews, and was actually looking forward to seeing one of the worst movies of all-time, curious what a disaster looks like. I didn't feel bamboozled for the lack of Morgan Freeman face time considering the prominence of his face on the cover, or for the disconnect between how the film's story line was promoted and what it actually consisted (if it was about anything or necessarily tried to be). I also got to watch it for free. Some would like to praise the advertisers for suckering them into watching an awful movie; I think the packaging is the worst part of a film that is much better without the baggage of false expectations. In fact, leave your baggage at the door, every preconceived notion about what a film should be, and you just might emerge 80 minutes later without feeling that you'd wasted your time."Guilty by Association" is a good film if you can let the imagery wash over you without concern for connecting the dots. It has a pornographic baseline worthy of an R-rating for the casualness and meaninglessness of it sex and violence (the lack of blood actually adds to this effect) which will please those who regard these as an inherent good irrespective of other factors. There is odd (yet interesting) placement of comedy or comedic intent in a film that appears to be played straight about 98% of the time. Because of this it remains in doubt whether the 98% is as straight as it appears, or if the apparent bad dramatic acting is rather a case of comedic overplaying sneaking in where one would think that it doesn't belong. I thought the disjointed mind that created this film was an interesting one to visit.

Okay, so I'm walking through Family Video looking for a movie and I see a Morgan Freeman movie! I'm a fan of his... I think I'll check it out. Mr Freeman has a total of about 20 lines in this movie, in his 10 minutes on screen at the end. I guess if you like gang-related movies and don't mind a reeeeeeeeeeeally slow moving movie, you might sit through the whole thing. Unfortunately, I can comprehend dialog a little faster than this movie drips it. Overall, the acting is very poor, the pace super slow, camera work looks like amateur, and the lack of Morgan in an advertised Morgan Freeman movie is incredible. If you bought this movie, you should give credit to the advertising agency that took your cash.

I rented this movie only because of Morgan Freeman. Having seen movies like Outbreak and Se7en, this is totally disgusting.Are they talking about Gangs? Drugs?...Nothing...Morgan freeman should think before lending his name to these kind of films though he comes only in 4, 5 scenes.I had to fast forward (X16) for most of the scenes. There is also a utterly indecent bed scenes and a cabaret which most of us would feel disgusting.I would rate a 1/10 for this movie..

If you can call it that. We rented this film from our television company because of Morgan Freeman. Should have realised something was wrong when there was no preview for the film. However, we thought, Morgan Freeman, great actor. The only thing he's been in recently that stank was DreamCatcher. Pretty safe bet. We sat through over 20 mins of this piece of drivel before we couldn't take it anymore. My step-son was being punished, no TV or movies. Even he was eager to go back to his punishment after that 20 mins. That's gotta say something.
