Basically an updated remake of Bucktown......with Bus as Fred Williamson.......and that pretty model in the Pam Grier role.This is halfway decent flick that could have been a great and funny B movie.... good performances from X to the Z, and from Spliff Starr as a "latino thug"...... I tried to watch the entire flick without pushing the fast forward button...but after 3 attempts..I just gave up.Busta has good screen presence..but this director does him dirty by shooting this movie like it was an After School Special.He tries his best fill the "Hammer's" on screen shoes though with tough talk, swagger, and beat downs galore...The model in Pam Grier's role.....cannot fill her shoes..or her bra, for that matter.....she's cleavage deprived..fortunately...one of the women playing Bus' father's girlfriend has more than enough cleavage to make up for that. Her name is Masasa....and her cleavage baring wake-weeping shot steals the scene......She is fully developed......which is the opposite of what I can say for this film......Full Clip is really only shell casings....

Oh, man. Anyone who ever went to film school has seen footage as bad as this. During the viewing of your classmates' first film class assignments. Mink (I love how he's too cool for school and doesn't want people to know his real name) truly has no clue where to put the camera, or what to tell his "actors", or what directing means. One of my favorites is a dialogue scene outside someone's apartment or store, I think, and some lady keeps sweeping with a broom all over the place while two other people exchange painfully bad dialogue. Never mind that there's no dirt on the ground to sweep (1) or that her way of sweeping would've spread the dirt all over the place had there been any (2), or the fact that the blocking is so uninspired that most of the time you must wonder who's speaking, and more importantly, why (3). So you succumb to the horror, which is SO painful to watch, the only way to cope with the level of badness is to laugh uncontrollably at the horrific performances by (of course) rappers (as we all know, when you can string rhymes together, clearly you're more than qualified to act in motion pictures, too. No more training is required). My recommendation: (w)rap this piece of crap and put it where it belongs: in the garbage.

I'm a person who really likes movies and really likes rap. I saw this movie had Xzibit in it so I gave it a shot. This was by far the most horrible movie I've ever seen....worse than Annaconda. For god sake...the movie has glitches IN THE MOVIE, it's not the disc. The blood looks like hot candle wax...and let's not forget about the scene where Busta Rhymes shoots a camera and it blows up as if it was a crate of C4. Do yourself a favor, go see Reservoir Dogs, Snatch, Fight Club, Boondock Saints, or some other good movie. And if you want to see a good black gangster movie with rappers in it...see Paid in Full...that's a great movie with a good cast and fantastic acting. Hope this was helpful...wish I could have read something like this before I went to see this movie.

The movie opens with a nice shoot-out scene, unfortunately the movie goes downhill from that point on. The following 87 minutes of the movie feature some of the worst acting I've seen in a long time. And it's not just the main character, played by Busta Rhymes, it's almost everyone in the entire movie (how is this possible?). With action movies I don't think an original plot is a necessity, although its preferable, but the dialogue/acting is pretty bad, so bad actually, I could hardly put myself up to watch the entire piece. To sum it up: the action-scenes are OK I guess, not very good but entertaining. However the acting is pretty bad (pretty = really) and the plot is non-existent. If you can't help yourself, rent it, if you're smart, you'll spend the 90 minutes you need to watch this movie doing something more useful and fun, like re-arranging your sock drawer.My opinion: 3/10 (and I'm being lenient)
