In a perfect world, a movie version of Teri Woods’ novel “True to the Game” would be a bigger deal. Woods’ pulp thriller has reportedly sold more than 2 million copies since the ’90s and pioneered a new literary form: a cross between gangster melodrama, glamorous romance and hip-hop-scored slice-of-life.
Rating: R, for violence, drug content, sexuality and nudity, and pervasive language
