A thief and a lawman join forces to hunt down a common enemy in this action thriller. Tony Fait (DMX) is a master thief who, along with his crew (Gabrielle Union, Anthony Anderson, and Drag-On), pulls off a major score when they steal a cache of highly valuable black diamonds. However, the hard-as-nails Tony has a soft spot for his young daughter Vanessa (Paige Hurd), and Ling (Mark Dacascos), a former detective turned ruthless criminal, kidnaps Vanessa, demanding a ransom from Tony for her return -- the stash of black diamonds.

    More Hip-Hop stars co-starring with martial arts actors? The main problem with these tpes of movies is that the Hip-Hop star HAS to be "cool". In every movie DMX is "the man". On the upside, this movie had potential. They cast Mark Dacascos as the villain, FINALLY A WORTHY OPPONENT FOR JET LI IN AN AMERICAN MOVIE!!! The problem? It was directed by a hollywood director who has no idea how to shoot fight scenes, so we get closeup cuts and can't follow anything. Also, the final fight is then spliced with two other fights. One is DMX and some thug which is really bad, and another is the two chicks. Nothing against women, but women vs women martial arts fight scenes are horrid. Very few have ever been good, and those few have all come from Hong Kong films. Unless you need to see every Jet Li film or want to see DMX act like he does in every other film, then pass on this one.

    Love Kelly Hu and Gabrielle but this film was weak. Some of the worst acting ever and silly plot. Decent action but tried to mix in humor and failed completely.
