He was great in this film. Is it because he doesn't play some baddass 'gangsta' like all the rest, and is more of a positive influence to the film? Shame on all of you. He was great. Good actor.

he basically ripped of "ali" from south central, but ali din't go crazy in the end.
KABLAM! NUCLEOID WAR!-Louis DiMucci
Powell (Mal) didn't go crazy in this, either. He faked it, so he could take the full blame, for the fight.
Pay attention to how he acts, toward his cellmate, as he leaves for solitary. He felt paternal toward him & wanting to protect him. Notice that Mal gave him his copy of Ralph Ellison's 'The Invisible Man'.
Powell was great in this. The philosophical heart of the film.
Carpe Noctem!
True that! he was one of my favorite characters next to Cash. Cash was a great character because he wasn't just peachy good he had some bad elements as well which made him more interesting than Avery or Dre.
shareWell said and very true! I thought that was nice how he took the blame. He saw that Avery could have a chance. I love that fight scene!
shareHell yeah, he was the only one who walked out of that fight without a scratch. I also love how he's the only calm one when being taken away after that fight, pure bad-ass.
