Tapped Out (2003)

So-bad-it's-goodStraight-to-DVD energyHip-hop noir

Overview

Action

Chart-topping rapper Coolio joins Kelly Jo Minter and Clifton Powell in this action movie about struggling hip-hop artists who discover there's much more to the recording business than making music. There's a down, dirty and deadly side to it that they never dreamed they'd encounter ... and now they have to deal with it.

Standout Aspects

Acting

Coolio's line delivery ranges from wooden to aggressively wooden.

Production

Budget so thin you can see through the fake record label office.

Best for:Friends: Irony-fueled group watch with hip-hop heads who love roasting bad movies.·Background: Perfect for folding laundry while occasionally looking up confused.·Rewatch: Annual 'remember when Coolio tried acting' tradition.
Heads up:Violence: Surprisingly grim for a rapper vehicle — bodies drop in the third act.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Director Georgio — yes, one name like Cher — was a 90s Eurodance producer who somehow convinced Coolio this was his Die Hard moment.

Cultural

This arrived during the brief 2003 boom of rappers-in-action-films that Ja Rule dominated; Coolio's attempt lasted exactly this movie.
