We rented this movie for one reason: Morgan Freeman. Unfortunately, Morgan Freeman's largest part in this movie is on the DVD box. I like Morgan Freeman, but this whole movie, and especially his supposed part in it, is a fraud. I HATE gang-banger gibberish and subliterate street jargon, and that's all this movie is. Whatever hidden cautionary tale this movie is supposed to convey is buried under cubic yards of blithering idiocy. If you want to see what is in this movie without paying for it, just go over to the bad side of what ever city you live in and you'll see plenty of it. Whatever you do, don't waste your time or money on this movie if you are wanting to see Morgan Freeman--he just isn't there. Rating: a big goose egg -- 0. There's not one redeeming quality to this movie, not even the big name "associated" with it.

Wow. When I rented this movie, I knew that it might be bad, but I never expected a train wreck like this. It's not so much that the script was boring, but the way the movie was executed was somewhat bizarre. People's behavior (the police's in particular) just didn't make much sense. I expected a certain level of quality given that the movie included Morgan Freeman, but I was unpleasantly surprised. His character wasn't particularly interesting or important. I have a suspicion that in the original script, Lieutenant Redding was a very minor character, but when they landed Morgan Freeman the Lieutenant was given more face time, though no more relevance. If you watch the trailer, it appears that the movie is centered on him. As it turns out, the plot and outcome of the movie would be the same if his character had never existed.

I only rented the movie because Morgan Freeman was in it and it turns out he wasn't really in it at all. He should be ashamed to associate his name with this trashy effort - I can't even call it a movie. It is a shame I can no longer associate Morgan Freeman with quality films without first checking reviews. Thanks for the opportunity to trash this stinker. The doggie style scenes did it for my grown up daughter. It was the final straw in an already straw ridden catastrophe.

I picked this movie up at the video store because of Morgan's prominant picture on the cover. If he was in this movie more than 5 minutes total, I'll eat my dog's dog food. What a disappointment. I'm willing to sit through sub-par acting to watch Morgan Freeman flare across the screen like a shooting star, but he didn't get enough time to do anything.
