A man turns to crime in the name of justice in this hard-hitting drama. Michael (Boris Kodjoe) was a good father and a law-abiding citizen until the day his seven-year-old son was accidentally killed in an exchange of gunfire between two gangs of drug dealers.

Michael commits a crime so that he will be placed in the same prison as the men who took his son's life; once there, he can take their lives in exchange for the life they took.

Sauntiese I.

I've been a fan of Boris since Soul Food, however, in this role he was terrible. He wasn't alone; the entire cast stunk. The plot was unbelievable. Overall I wouldn't recommend it but since Boris is so fine I have it a star and a half. ;)
