A young man is torn by divided loyalty in this hard-edged urban drama. Reggie (Ja Rule) was raised by his father (Giancarlo Esposito) after a violent incident in the neighborhood where he lived with his mother (Pam Grier). While Reggie has been encouraged to take up a life of crime by his older friend and street mentor J-Bone (Ving Rhames), his father thinks Reggie has a good head for business and urges him to use his smarts rather than his gun. When Reggie's father is murdered, J-Bone takes the young man under his wing, but as a consequence of their friendship, Reggie is linked to the killing of a local preacher -- whose daughter (Tatyana Ali) is Reggie's girlfriend. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    Just another drop in the vast ocean of boring and predictables gangsta-rappers movies. Move along, there's nothing to see here...

    I guess with casting Ja Rule as the lead, you can't really expect more of this movie. Ving Rhames usually does well playing these type-cast roles but I also wasn't too pleased with his performance either. The story line starts out good, diminishes halfway through, then ties together a good part of the plot in the end. The overall direction, acting, and plot of the movie was extremely disappointing.
