I remember wanting to see Dead Presidents 
when it came out, but, after watching it, I have to admit that it wasn't what I expected. I'm not really sure what I was thinking, but I guess I thought it would have more robberies. While I guess the movie might have wanted to make you ask yourself what you'd do for money, I just don't see myself siding with Anthony, the main character. The story does flow together well, but I'm not sure I understand what the point was. If I remember correctly, there were a surge of urban movies out around this time and a number of them were pretty good. Perhaps that's why I expected this one to be better. All-in-all, it was ok. If you like Lorenz Tate , you'll probably enjoy it. Chris Tucker was in it, but not in his typical comedic role. There were a number of others that I recognized, but I won't get into the casting.
If you liked Dead Presidents, I'd suggest Mennace II Society , Boyz n the Hood , and Set it Off , in that order.
