Overlooked Comedic Drama:The Players Club is full of laughs and shocks from the very beginning. It's the story of a young woman, Diamond, as she tries to earn money for college by working at a strip club, all while trying to look after her cousin, Ebony.
Diamond, who has good morals and big dreams, has a very hard time keeping Ebony in line, who becomes mixed up with the wrong crowd.
Needless to say, Ebony gets herself into a lot of trouble by sleeping with Diamonds boyfriend.
After Ebony is kicked out of Diamonds house, she tries to earn money doing "private parties" with her friend Ronnie, but one of these "private parties" goes horribly wrong, and Ronnie leaves Ebony behind to suffer.
When Diamond finds out, all hell brakes loose! Diamond get her revenge!
Although some of the acting could have been better, The Players Club is different, original, and shocking. It also has one of the best fight scenes in all of cinema! If you get the chance, rent it.
