Great from beginning to end. Storyline was tight and engaging. Action scenes did not disappoint along with the excellent Cinematography & Editing. Thoroughly enjoyed and definitely recommend.
Very well directed by lead actor Michael Jai White. Casting was on point with Method Man, Orlando Jones, Mike Epps, Gillian White, Lala, Keith Sweat and others.
Purchased on Prime. Money well spent.

Just take this movie for full value no hidden messages no lies action pure as it used to be with soul.
Don't judge this movie when you thought Barbie was a great movie. (It wasn't). A real action movie with story akd a method(man).

If you understand what this movie is, it's a great remake of a classic film. It's supposed to have bad acting, a low budget, and lots of silly fight scenes. I laughed my butt off from start to finish. This movie is filled with great jokes for old heads. I'm a fan of the 70s movies like Dolemite, Truck Turner, Superfly, etc. If you're a fan, this movie is right up your alley. It's a must watch for diehards of the genre.
Michael Jai White has made some fairly good films, but sadly, nothing that is exceptional. This film is not in either of those two categories.
From the writing to the action sequences, to dialogue, nothing here is worth the price of admission.
Each of the action sequences kind of looks like they were on runners starting blocks, waiting for the action command to start moving. It looks fake, totally scripted with no action flow.
The dialogue is stilted, and every scene fits into some phony gangster rap scenario. There is not a single bit that comes across as realistic!
The women are all wearing high-end street hoe outfits that come across as trashy.
Why is it that they only speak like bad tropes, instead of real people? It's really a bad script, with bad casting, acting, and direction.
I want to like Michael Jai White. He is a real martial artist, but direction seems outside his wheelhouse.

When I saw the trailer for this, I was hyped! When I shared it with a friend, he asked if I had seen the 70's movie and I had no idea this was a remake. I immediately found the 70's version and watched it. Reminded me of Passenger 57 in a way. Maybe because the main character in the original had a small role in 57 as well.
This movie had action, comedy and decent stakes, but everything was in the wrong hands. I think it was too tall of an order for MJW to star and direct. The writer of this adaptation doesn't have a single credit worth mentioning and it lead to this being an underwhelming, yet entertaining film. Method man was great, just like his small role in Luke Cage. Orlando Jones was OK, but a little too silly in my opinion.
The Asian lead had potential, but her crew was also silly and this movie kept taking me out of the fantasy with really bad CGI. Would it have been too much to have a real fight on top of a building, in a garage or a park? The CGI was so obvious that it just ruined the illusion and made me wonder how small the budget really was here.
In the right hands, this could have been something, and black cinema needs movies like this, but the A+ potential was squandered on unqualified talent.
I bet I could have edited a far better film, but so be it. It is what it is and I think this will soon be forgotten.
