Summary: A Big Disappointment
Review: After reading the synopsis of this movie, I was expecting more than it delivered. I know several people who are fans of the author whose book this was based on, and I'm sure the book was alot better than the movie. The acting was weak and choppy, sometimes to the point of appearing silly. Snoop Dogg (who was so good in "Baby Boy")and Ice-T (LOVE watching him on "Law & Order:SVU) don't even appear until the last half hour of the movie! The best part was the soundtrack. The bottom line is, don't waste your money on this one!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Dasheiks 2 Cents: It's Alright.
Review: I didn't expect this movie to any better than what it was. I'm glad someone finally used a Donald Goines book to make a movie instead of just writing some terrible screenplay. What I hate is giving rappers top billing when they are no more than just cameo performers. Stop lying to the consumer. That's false advertising. John Bryant is an integral part of this film and his name doesn't even appear on the cover. That is so disrespectful. His name should have been third behind Tyrin Turner and Clifton Powell. With all considered, I don't think this movie was that terrible. I've seen much worse.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: NOT BAD, BUT ALSO NOT GREAT
Review: THE MOVIE IS ABOUT TWO GANGSTAS WHO GET TIRED OF THEIR MURDERS GOING UNRECOGNIZED. BUT WHEN THEY MURDER TWO DOPE FIENDS, THEY MAKE THE FRONT PAGES OF SEVERAL NEWSPAPERS, THEN THEY START DOING MURDERS FOR A MAN NAMED KENYATTA [CLIFTON POWELL], BUT AS THE NUMBER OF MURDERS GROW, THE COPS ARE GETTING CLOSER TO BRINGING THESE THUGS DOWN. NOT MUCH, BUT AT TIMES, IT IS OKAY. YOU GOTTA ADMIT ONE THING, CLIFTON POWELL LOOKS SILLY IN DREADS. THE MOVIE HAS CAMEOS FROM A HOST OF RAPPERS; JA RULE, CHARLI BALTIMORE, CORMEGA, SNOOP DOGG, ANGIE MARTINEZ, AND ICE-T. OF INTEREST ONLY FOR TYRIN TURNER [WHO STARRED IN THE FAMED ''MENACE II SOCIETY''] AND CLIFTON POWELL. OTHERWISE, IT'S JUST YOUR AVERAGE DIRECT TO VIDEO GANGSTA MOVIE.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: would give it less
Review: This movie was terrible. Im shocked because i usually like ghetto/gangsta movies, but this was just 2 much. For yall trying to see this for the rappers they dont appear until the movie is close to over. i mean what is this (BLEEP). and to think this is based on a story written by a famous black novelist. its a good thing i got the rent this movie free. you dont have to take my word, go and see you might think differently,but dont be shocked if u wind up regreting this. i still do. i definelty never wanna see this movie again. not even on T.V. im out. peace!
