Christopher Joseph I caught this B flick on cable and the marketing does a good job of hyping up the film as an intriguing suspenseful murder mystery story. Unfortunately that was far from the case. Besides the poor acting out of a usually reliable group, the plot/storyline was essentially non- existent. David Banner as 'Daniel', one of the latest rappers turned 'attempting to act' was an interesting choice for the antagonist, he relished in playing a generally good guy turned bad (his boiling point scene was quite convincing!) but his efforts seemed wasted in this disappointing film. Possibly he may get another chance worthy of his efforts, this was not it. The premise was the most confounding, not enough effort was put into establishing the two main characters with this so-called 'bond' they was supposed to cherish. Boris Kodjoe's surprisingly weak performance as 'Nigel' never established his character as more than an acquaintance with David's. His blowing off of the crimes he committed lacked any sustenance, oh poor guy he has an addiction, he didn't give a what what, you never felt anything from him. A so-called 'best friend' like him would not be worth cherishing whatsoever! He was supposed to be some uber-talented athlete/businessman, um, really? You didn't see him do crap! He looked confused most of the time! Only time he was sincere was when he was losing to the convincing Bai Ling's character 'Black' who got all in his grill. She should have had more screen time, that's a creepy lady not to double cross! It was wack how they took her out, unconvincing! This film made obvious Boris' best acting is when he vibes off of decent peers. Sorry Boris, seems you was just in the flick to be eye-candy for the females, you was the weakest link! Billy Zane, talented, wasted, barely in the movie, Richard Roundtree, talented, wasted, barely in the movie. If they had built an arc around these characters, building up the conflict more adequately this would have been a more intriguing feature. Oh, and the actor who played the young version of Nigel? Unconvincing, didn't even favor his looks! Sex factor, sorry Kenya Moore, the hottie Brazilian actress Camila Alves stole the tantalizing scenes away! Like to see more of her! And Ms. Moore, as producer, please put your money on better scripts, directors, actors and maybe you'd shine better in the unforgiving movie industry. You're only as good as your last flick! Come see me if you need suggestions! :)

xemitykvi Saw this on Netflix and figured why not, boy was I wrong. Once the story gets going it kind of steam rolls downhill. The backgrounds of the main characters are just kind of thrown out there and never really built upon. There was a good performance from Bai Ling as Black, but other than that were mostly staring at the TV in disbelief at where this story was headed and ended up. I seen most of these actors in other movies and I know they can act but here their talents are kind of wasted. It's like the writers were like the plot is kind of lacking let's throw some T&A in there to keep people watching. It's one of those pictures were at the end you feel that you've lost some brain cells just by watching.

andrenw83 I give this movie a two because of David Banner. While he is another rapper attempting a serious acting role...I think his role was accurate for him. However, the supporting cast did absolutely nothing to bring reality to this story. The story itself has a very selfish and confusing message that death, and murder can cure all your problems. Boris Kodjoe plays Nigel, an apparent super start athlete, although that is implied and never seen, who is also addicted to gambling. he kills a man who suspects him of cheating which was true, and has his friend (Banner) take the fall for it right at that moment. It was also implied that everyone knew Nigel was a cheat and lier. 11 years past by and Banner is now set to collect the debt owed to him. When Nigel cant pay up, Banner takes his revenge out on his wife...turning into a psycho he kills the maid right away. Nigel's gambling addiction lands him in hot water, which was set up by Banner. When Nigel realizes the whole thing is a revenge plot against him he kills banner. a total of two murderers and four deaths occur in the movie, and in the end, one of the murderers gets his life back. What the moral of the story? Kill all those who cause you problems? Kill those you lied to and hope for a better future? I was not surprised to find out that Alton Glass both wrote and directed this unrealistic film filled with pointless sex scenes and murder. However, the sex scenes alone gave this movie a two star rating.
