Teen actor in wave films Soul, Kevin Hooks is going to win in the 90s as a director of action movie and earn his stripes through explosive Passenger 57. For the moment it starts with this comedy ...
STRICTLY BUSINESS - Kevin Hooks (1991)
Bobby (Tommy Davidson) is a raver with smart girls, he worked as a servant Mail in a large firm in New York real estate. Waymon (Joseph C. Phillips), it is placed high hopes in the enterprise and even take the co-direction, provided to complete the signing of new contracts juicy cons by her love life is rather bleak 
, torn between his girlfriend that he is tyrannical and his secret love, the beautiful Natalie (Halle Berry). The two men help each other: Bobby learning to conquer Nathalie Waymon, in return for which he helps to grow the company by taking it as an intern.
Kevin Hooks realizes is his first film, replacing at short notice by the director thanked Warner Bros. But his career began two decades ago as an actor in dramas such as the sublime Sounder, Aaron Loves Angela Gordon Parks, A Hero Is not Nothin 'But a Sandwich or the sports drama The White Shadow . He became director in the 80s, but only TV series. Thus, his first test on the big screen is relatively successful, although success is not totally go in a year, however lucrative for the new wave African American.
The script mixes romance comedy and is even a sociological interest in his description of social relationships in the black community, which has seen several years some members move up the social hierarchy. Far from being boring, Strictly Business describes all this with a grain and a sometimes satirical eye. I'll also mention a love scene between Berry and Phillips, still rare at the time.
The cast met nice young African American talent such as Tommy Davidson, Anne-Marie Johnson, Isaiah Washington,
Ellis Williams, Joe Torry, Paul Butler (actor junior, and series in particular, which however, begins in the political firebrand The Spook Who Sat By the Door and plays in the excellent To Sleep with Anger of Charles Burnett), and the two become stars Halle Berry and Samuel L. Jackson (Actor essential movies of young African American filmmakers of the late 80s and early 90s).
