Up and coming business man Waymon Tinsdale III (Joseph C. Phillips) is on the verge of closing the company's biggest deal. He's making great headway but other obstacles lye ahead including rival colleagues and mailroom clerk Bobby (Tommy Davidson) who is eager to embrace all of the material vices success has to offer but doesn't want to work hard for them. During a business meeting Tinsdale comes across beauty Natalie (Halle Berry). Unfortunately, Natalie is no were to be found and street hustler Bobby comes to the rescue.

This 1991 throwback is finally coming to DVD courtesy of Warner Home video; the film reeks of the New Jack Swing era. Still funny and interesting to watch, Strictly Business does encompass the 80s style of filmmaking. The setup of having it 'almost' all and the music leading the plot does take one back to the early days when movies had more of a point A and point B structure than the massive studio giants existing today.

As these films are just the introduction to super stars of today like Samuel L. Jackson, you can't help but admire we're they have all gone in their careers; aspiring cool.

Directed by Kevin Hooks (24, Passenger 57) from a screenplay by Nelson George of Life Support fame and Pam Gibson (The Urban Demographic); Strictly Business, despite the 10 year wait, is worth the purchase.
