    Decent, slow moving thriller/drama

    I understand that some of you hate this movie, and that's fair. I beg you to reconsider your "baaaadd actinggggggg!!!" Comments. A film that isn't up to par with viewers expectations shouldn't be blamed on acting alone. You can surely blame writers and directors too for poor execution by the actors. If someone gave you a trash bag to wear, how could you expect to win a fashion show? Point being, Mekhi can act. Period. Stop blaming actors when it's convenient. Mekhi was the glue that kept this slow moving movie worth while.

    Not that bad

    It was quite predictable since the beginning but it kept me interested. Not bad, I would definitely recommend this movie when there's nothing else to do.

    Pretty Good Ending but.....,

    I watched with nothing else on, but I try to watch everything I mean everything, sometimes I find a hidden diamond and sometimes I find a rock and sometimes I find nothing. This one isn't completely bad but the acting is suspect, I watched in standard not HD and I knew I knew the lead actor Phifer but he looked old and fat so I didn't recognize him at first, he was alright but the others not so much. Very predictable but most B movies are the ending not bad didn't see that coming so it was a pleasant surprise even though I had to sit the whole movie. It wasn't a painful wait, like i said nothing else was on so I found a rock not a diamond but a rock, rough around the edges not shiny in color but I found something??

    DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING

    I have been putting off watching this film because of the low reviews BUT I must say I was definitely pleasantly surprised! So if u were like me putting this film off give it a try.

    Typical plot, but it kept me interested , plus it's good to see Mekhi Phifer still at it
