Kris Kristoferson should be ashamed for taking a role in this garbage heap. The acting was horrible on countless levels. Honestly, not one strong performance (including Kris). Not even one "good" performance.The script was atrocious. The delivery was even worse. The acting quality was about on par with a late night Cinemax soft-core porn flick. The storyline was about as common and cliché as they come and seemed pieced together, disjointed and boring. And to boot, the video quality was very poor. I watched this in HD and it looked more like a VHS-quality movie - very grainy and low budget.How anyone can say this is a great movie is beyond me. What is wrong with people?

Mexican drug-lord Santiango (Armando Leduc) escapes from prison looking for the 15 million dollars he asked his girl to hold on to for him, but she skipped town. Enter Travis (Ameer Baraka ), a cop, who protects the girl from the evil drug-lord. Travis's partner Ray(Kris Kristofferson) is close to retirement and hopes to enjoy it with his young wife.Poor New Orleans, first Katrina and now this. There's just too many disasters a town can take. From the heavily clichéd storyline to the horrible acting to the swiss cheese filled movie logic, this film is simply amateur hour and is quite a chore to watch indeed. Only for MAJOR DMX fans (he's not a lead despite getting top billing) all others steer clear of this disaster.My Grade: D- DVD Extras: none at all

Jump Out Boys jumped right off of the screen and into my heart. In the word's of Emily Dickinson, "How strange that nature does not knock, and yet does not intrude! " Indeed, the film dances temptously at the fringes of the soul, beckoning the viewer to step into its world of hooligans, scoundrels, and flagrant tomfoolery. The piece is mixture of disparate film-making disciplines, the proverbial love child of early films such as Meshes of The Afternoon and The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari. Sheldon Robins gives a heart-stopping performance as Detective McCoy, a rebellious DEA agent with a heart of gold. Singer/songwriter DMX comes across as tough yet vulnerable. Kris Kristofferson and Ameer Baraka keep it cool as two detectives who play by nobody's rules but their own. The sumptuous photography carries us from the skies, to the swamp's of Louisiana, and into our very souls. Bravo.

I took the time to sign up to IMDb solely to express my utter contempt for this waste of film.I didn't think it was possible to cast the worst actors in the world all in the same movie, but they managed. Terrible acting... sounds like they are reading from the script (for the first time). Not to mention this movie has been done so many times before.The main character (the black detective who couldn't detect a crime if it fell out of the sky and landed on his face.) actually invoked an emotion in me. Anger... His acting was so terrible it actually made me mad. (Oh yeah, PS.. Take off those unbelievably ridiculous sunglasses.) What a tool.I give this movie a 1 (since there is no option for 0) I would like that 120 minutes of my life back.
