Although you can tell this was a budget film and some acting was a little put on, the overall message I took from the film is to know who you are and what you are capable of accomplishing. There are a lot of good points and statements made about the black community in the fact that we need to unite more and be proud of our heritage or what's happening to our children will continue to happen and we will never be as great as we can be as a people. People from different countries come here and flourish but here we are, blinded to the truth, under a spell that things wont get better. I like when movies try to bring light to the black community, more of them are needed. Sometimes we our so quick to judge black productions and not willing to support and help improve. We must support our people and stop being conditioned to everything Hollywood.

More than what it seems! Let's just say this film is full of surprises. I was impressed with the quality of the film and the overall cast as well. I would definitely recommend this movie! This film impressed me! I thought this would be just another NYC crime flick but they tackle some real issues that New Yorkers are experiencing in several of the newly gentrified neighborhoods. This movie also taught me some stuff I didn't know about New York City's first settlers (hint: it was not the dutch). Bryce Wilson and Mel Jackson are great on the screen. I would give 10 except for a couple scenes that are a little too corny, other wise a great flick! danceability-1, Amsterdam Holland

This is a pretty good crime drama! Between the slumlords, robberies and seduction, let's just say this film is full of surprises. I was impressed with the quality of the film and the overall cast as well. There are some fairly known actors in the film including Bryce Wilson, Mel Jackson, and Hawthorne James! I was unfamiliar Tariq Alexander but he fit his role of "smooth talking Harlem cat" perfectly. I'd prefer if the film was a little bit shorter but otherwise you should definitely check this out. The end is predictable but they definitely mix it up with some unexpected twists! No spoiler alerts here tho! Watch the movie!

This film really impressed me! I thought this would be just another NYC based crime thriller but they actually tackle some real deal issues that New Yorkers are experiencing in several of the newly gentrified neighborhoods (Harlem, Williamsburg, Ft. Greene, Bed-Stuy). This movie also taught me some stuff I did not know about New York City's first settlers (hint: it was not the Dutch). Overall the cast if pretty solid. Bryce Wilson and Mel Jackson are stand outs, they did an excellent job in this one! Aside from some odd and corny scenes this DVD is pretty good all the way through. I'd recommend for a night with the fellas, kicking back and playing dice!
