Boring and uninspired, yet cocky in it's execution. This film is like a bland dish of food that has had a copious amount of salt added.

From shows like Power to this film, I cannot understand the obsession with portraying black drug dealers as some sort of hero just because said criminal wants out of the game.

Say what you want about Tyler Perry, but at least his characters are good people. Very disappointed. I'm going to think twice the next time I watch a movie starring this lead actor. Only gave it a "1" because at least the production is fine.… Expand

This is the familiar story of a criminal Youngblood Priest, a coke dealer played by Trevor Jackson, who wants to make one last score and then get out of the game.He is handsome and stylish, but the role calls for charisma and a commanding presence. But he's not there yet. He seems like just some ordinary guy when he walks into a nightclub to collect a debt. And that giant pompadour is distracting. Not cool or interesting. At the beginning of the movie, he has a showdown with a generic villain with an equally goofy hairdo. The bad guy has parked a Lamborghini in the middle of a nightclub and is blasting tunes for everyone to dance to. Superfly big entrance culminates with the line, "Give me the keys." Not well thought-out. Then there's a fight scene that looks clumsy and unconvincing. And the rest of the movie follows suit. Director X was a music video director and it shows. Here's hoping for more next time around.… Expand

Heard this story like so many times that it's just ripping off of other gangsters film. Acting bad,Well black people upset because we had black panther and now we back to been gangsters. Well I couldn't cause I find this movie terrible. Heard this story like so many times that it's just ripping off of other gangsters film. Acting bad, action sequences over-the-top, the villains are dumb and bad CG. The best part of the movie is Jason Mitchell and Micheal K. Williams. Everything else is ****… Expand
