About this movie

Ratings and reviews

Hands down one of the worst movies I have seen in years. Why De Niro would associate himself with such a poor film is a bafflement. The dialog is horrific, the acting is amateurish, the story lacks continuity and credibility. I could not find a single redeeming scene in this movie. The scene with the three male cops and the female ADA was embarrassingly bad. The sexual innuendo wasn't even worthy of a film like American Pie. And when De Niro takes the rookie cop into the bar (apparently the inner sanctum for corrupt cops) I had to rewind the film to see if I had missed something, it just didn't seem to fit in with anything that had happened so far in the film. Don't waste your money on this film.

I hope Robert De Niro got a nice fat bonus check for this one because he had to carry everyone else's poor acting and L. Philippe Casseus's inability to write anything even remotely interesting. 50 Cent did ok considering he isn't an actor, but he isn't ready for a lead roll like this yet. The plot is weak and the action scenes are lacking. If you're looking to see a Rapper act you're better off watching 8 mile. -overall: pass this one up

The next movie should be called "Act Good Or Stop Trying And Get Into A Different Carrier" all of his movies are horrible no matter how many legends happen to be in those movies...Val Kilmer, De Nero.
