This movie was utter and complete garbage. The acting was bad, DMX's narration was plain unnecessary, the pacing and editing were utterly horrible and the story was painfully week. I saw the ending coming halfway through the film. This movie was utter and complete garbage.

Ernest Dickerson should never be given money (not even his own) to make another movie. I am disappointed that Ebert could give this movie 3 1/2 stars!… Expand

the rest of these critics really need to get some fucking taste and not underrate films like these (Boondock Sanits Running Scared, Never Die Alone) This will soon get its respect soon enough. last I remember Scarface was panned like this as the rest of these critics really need to get some fucking taste and not underrate films like these (Boondock Sanits Running Scared, Never Die Alone) This will soon get its respect soon enough. last I remember Scarface was panned like this as well as simply being trashy.… Expand

Much of films failure commercially is due to the poor advertising and marketing which tried to sell it as a "Gangsta thriller" when in fact it's an introspective and literate urban noir that shows the domino effect one mans life can have on those around him. David Arquette's aspiring novelist in the ghetto is a smart fit when you examine that he is meant to be out of place in this milieu. DMX makes a brutal and charismatic screen presence who makes his character David more interesting then you would think and the supporting roles are well cast and deeper than what you would expect. Credit to Michael Ealy as a somber and reflective runner for the local drug lord and director Ernest Dickerson creates a layered and intelligent film from Donald Goines 1970's novel. The last 20 minutes, when the film's arc really comes full circle is impressive and rewarding.… Expand
