  • Summary: An action-thriller set in the mean streets of Philadelphia, this is a journey through the dark side of the rap music industry and an underworld of hustlers, thieves, and killers who'll do whatever it takes to stay on top of the game. (Ruff Nation Films)

  1. Highly watchable stuff (not to mention listenable, with a relentless but not overly obtrusive hip-hop soundtrack propelling the action).
  2. Reviewed by: Ken Fox

    Boasts spunk, imagination and a strong performance from Smallville's very talented Sam Jones III.
  3. 38
    Too bad this movie is more tepid than the average Snipes potboiler and even rustier than his mindless Blade pictures.
  4. Oddly enough, given his limited role, the movie seems to have been made around Nelly; when he's not onscreen, everything falls apart.

  1. Movie was terrible Nelly can't act to save his life. I mean how can you people give it a perfect 10 at all, because the star was a rapper? Rate the movie the way it really is... Expand
