even tho i read a lot of people nagging about the movie i still thought that it starring busta rhymes and xzibit it couldent be that bad, i guess they're acting was aight but was directed horribly the story made absolutely no sense what so ever, maybe because of all the pointless chit chats in the movie, got pretty tired of listening to random people recognizing him for the popes son, the fight scenes wasn't that entertaining either, think the only good part of this movie was the shooting scenes, since they obviously didn't have enough money to direct this movie right, it didn't really turn out as good as it could have, even tho some sexy girls and famous rappers was starring in this movie. i would no recommend buying this movie...
I've seen this movie, where to begin? It stars Busta Rhymes and Xzibit as lead characters, with a weak plot. Horrible dialogue and scenes. It may sound strange, but XZibit and Rhymes being the lead characters wasn't the main reason this picture failed. I think if they had a supporting plot, character relations and dialogue it would have been sub-par, compared to just plain horrible.
The plot follows Rhymes' character 'Pope' who is returning to the town where his father was killed. Thats about as deep as the story goes right there. Some shotty action scenes complemented by no real direction bring this "picture" to a close.
Don't see it unless you like critiquing.

This movie is basically like a 90 minute music video I like rap, gangster action movies, and it has all of the above. For some reason, someone thinks, if they can sing/rap, then i guess the can act. Thats like letting your psychiatrist take the place of your surgeon and do open heart surgery because they're both doctors.
It has lots of action, which is good. The music is good if you like rap. It even has a decent plot. However, it has some of the worst acting I've seen since hitmans run(search it on IMDb lol). I'm sure full clip has more of a budget than hitmans run, and it is definitely better.
Just don't watch this movie expecting a great movie. Like i said its more like a music video. If you can find a trailer I'm sure you can see some of the bad acting in it.
If you REALLY like rap movies, then you would probably enjoy this. Another movie like this, Never Die Alone with DMX(not that good but better than this) might be an alternative suggestion. It has better acting but is kind of strange.

The adventures of a certain hero Pope hits it off in a pathetic Equlibrium style (not even Neo) and flow toward the so predictable. I guess this is the movie about the bad white guy up to a point, then comes the story of the bad black guy, followed by the revenge of the hero - all action packed in the adventures of this Pope dude. It's really bad and clichéd - script wise - and the one name director makes it seem even less original and inciting. The best thing this movie does is offer some great insight to the characters...especially the female ones.
Its hardly possible to count all the things which are wrong in the film (absurd and pointless characters, to name just one), so I won't even bother trying. In my twisted mind I came to compare it to the "rap style" - a style I am not really fond of: it's contradictory and violent, while trying to convey its "message". It proves that rap should restrain to its three minute long songs, rather than one and a half hour long movies. The material simply doesn't suffice.

The movie opens with a nice shoot-out scene, unfortunately the movie goes downhill from that point on.
The following 87 minutes of the movie feature some of the worst acting I've seen in a long time. And it's not just the main character, played by Busta Rhymes, it's almost everyone in the entire movie (how is this possible?). With action movies I don't think an original plot is a necessity, although its preferable, but the dialogue/acting is pretty bad, so bad actually, I could hardly put myself up to watch the entire piece.
To sum it up: the action-scenes are OK I guess, not very good but entertaining. However the acting is pretty bad (pretty = really) and the plot is non-existent. If you can't help yourself, rent it, if you're smart, you'll spend the 90 minutes you need to watch this movie doing something more useful and fun, like re-arranging your sock drawer.
My opinion: 3/10 (and I'm being lenient)
