I remember having watched the 2003 action crime movie "Ride or Die" (aka "Hustle and Heat") once before. But I have to admit that I couldn't recall a single thing from the movie, aside from the cover. So as I had the opportunity to watch it again here in 2022, I did exactly that.
Writers Duane Martin and Jay Wolcott didn't exactly write a particularly outstanding script here for the movie. Sure, "Ride or Die" was watchable, but it just wasn't a noteworthy or memorable movie. It felt, for a lack of better words, bland.
While the movie is not all that great, there are some pretty good talents on the cast list, with the likes of Vivica A. Fox, Daniel Dae Kim, Miranda Kwok and Stacey Dash.
What makes "Ride or Die" watchable is the amount of action, gunfights and fight scenes that director Craig Ross Jr. Had crammed into the movie.
My rating of "Ride or Die" lands on a four out of ten stars. There are far better action crime movies readily available out there.
