Summary: Turn it down!
Comment: Will somebody please get me a glass of water? This movie is about as dry as the Sahara Desert. Pras of the Fugees plays Diamond, a former drug dealer who aspires to be a rapper. Ja Rule plays his best friend "Gage", who goes out of his way to help him at the risk of getting beatdown for not paying the people he owes money on time. The simplistic storyline is not the reason why this movie sucks. The "actors" are the reason for this film's lousiness. Pras cant act! Repeat: PRAS CANT ACT! Picture a slug crawling in a garden. That's Pras's personality summed up in a nutshell. Ja Rule is not a great actor either but he's better than Pras! Oh yeah, the songs they perform in this movie blows as expected. The little actions scenes in this movie are pathetic and the other actors who star in it such as Tamala Jones, Vondie Curtis-Hall and Jason Statham of "Crank" fame dont add much to this movie. Turn it up? How about turning that racket down so I can get some sleep!

Summary: Turn it up
Comment: All in all a respectable movie. Obviously no urban movies are gunna be winning awards but if given the proper amount of showing to audiences this movie could rate up there with the best urban movies. Ja rule's acting is amazing for a freshman appearence and pras hits the sympathetic actor alrite. I give it about 7.5/10 on my scale and would highly suggest watching it to any fan of hip hop. The soundtrack to go with it/songs preformed within the movie by ja rule and pras are also very good.

Summary: It was pure [baloney], but I kinda liked it...
Comment: The plot was tired, but the acting was ok especially Ja Rule who seemed a natural to his role. Not a bad first outing Ja.
Pras co-produced and I think he should stick to doing that. His character just seemed too disinterested, or perhaps it was just Pras.
Props to Robert Adetuyi for writing and directing - Jolly good show mah men, but did the editing kill the flow?
Keep up the work guys, hey everyone's a critic...

Summary: Good God! What is this ...? Needs a zero star!
Comment: I gave it a chance and not suprisingly I was thoroughly sickened. This is one of the latest in a crop of Hip Hop crime dramas featuring the same horrible rappers that fuel the ... soundtracks in the acting roles. This movie left a foul taste in my mouth and quite a headache. This is further proof that Rap is ruining all forms of entertainment. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this incorrigible trash. Word Yo!
