Considering Mr. Freeman one of the best actors ever, I did not think twice about getting this film out of the rental store's shelf.What a surprise.The movie is incredible, the actors are so real, everybody shines with realism, so uplifting, god, this is a movie to be placed right next to all the classics.No, wait, I am thinking about another Morgan Freeman's movie... because anything else he has made has a merit, even the Pawnbroker.Not this waste. Guilty by association is that exactly. Morgan Freeman just gave the name to this junk but the actual film is an insult to anything artistic, intelligent or constructive.The only thing this miserable film can do for Mr. Freeman is to corroborate that his undisputed talent is stronger than the worse waste of film strip known to modern times.

I believe that the description on the cover is very misleading. You would assume from the description that Morgan Freeman is investigating a murder & he solves it, when in fact it is soled for him when the murderer turns himself in.I believe Morgan Freeman is in the movie for a total of less then 10 minutes. Very bad movie & even worse representation of the facts on the cover.I believe that the information on the disc cover is not correct & you are lead to believe it is about a time when gangs get out of control & there is a inner gang war, this is not true it is a story about a young man just off parole & he is talked into a life of crime from an old friend & the friendship turns sore & he & his friend end up dead.Not at all as the cover says.

You might think that Morgan Freeman, one of the better actors there is, should be a bit more selective when choosing scripts. This script uses his name and face just to get sold. He has like 15 minutes in the whole movie and not counting the first two lines of speech in the movie, I think it took around 60 minutes before he opened his mouth.This is pure and simple fraud taking in count that Morgan Freemans name and face is dominating the case on the DVD.The movie in it self is, in my opinion also bad, bad acting, bad camera, since I personally don't like rap - bad music and really bad sound! On the DVD, you have one feature, scene access, on the Swedish version of the DVD you weren't even able to change language on subtitles even though there was a place on the menu for this!I read an interesting comment on it on a Swedish film site, this should be sold as a music video for the one and only (I think) rap artist that plays in the soundtrack.My advise to you all, avoid this film as long as possible!For all the two people in the world who might like this movie, don't despair, everyone can't have good taste.

I pride myself on not being taken in by fancy packaging. Since I work in film and advertising, I understand that things are not always what they see. This movie made me sick. I was absolutely paralyzed by it. ALthough the remote was simply on the coffee table in front of me, I physically could not move to turn off the movie. I was that amazed. Morgan! MORGAN!! MORGAN!!! What was going through your mind, Brother. I find it hard to believe that you went into this project willingly. Or perhaps you were hoodwinked by the same people who got me to rent this debacle. Word of advice... NEVER EVER EVER put this movie on your resume. Most people will not have seen it or even heard of it. And don't ver go on Maury Povich. You know how they surprise people. Well it won't be a lover from your past which comes back to haunt you... it will be this film. Wow. I wish I had their money. I would have made a much better film. Isn't that always the way? People with it have no idea how to handle it. Oh well. DOn't rent this. It truly truly sucks!!!D
