I am originally a native of the Washington, D.C. area and I wasn't fortunate enough to catch the first showing in theaters, due to military obligations, so I went to Blockbuster's and bought a copy of the movie. I found it to be a real good and entertaining, although it was real graphic. I also loved the fact that Mr. Brown used people that are locally renown to act in the movie. People like James Funk of Rare Essence, Tony Fisher of Trouble Funk and DC Scorpio. DC Scorpio was a serious scene stealer and showed some serious acting capability. All three people I have grown up from the District listening to their music, from high school to military until very much now. I can't wait to see the sequel.
