A lot of the negative reviews here just completely miss the mark; they're either unable to interpret what is happening in this film or just incapable of recognizing a solid movie. Pimped isn't flawless but it's a solid film that delivers an intriguing plot, two nicely twisted main characters, and fairly realistic circumstances.
Why it's called Pimped I'll never know. It has nothing to do with pimping or prostitution. Others have summed up the storyline pretty well and you can see it's a dramatic thriller about a woman getting revenge for a rape...and much more.
I will agree that it doesn't have the truly fantastic scenes that put you on the edge of your seat, but as a low-wattage drama it has plenty of interesting turns, peaks and valleys. The acting, direction and production values were all top notch. And unlike some others--even some who still liked the movie--I really liked the ending!
