Summary: Turn it up
Review: All in all a respectable movie. Obviously no urban movies are gunna be winning awards but if given the proper amount of showing to audiences this movie could rate up there with the best urban movies. Ja rule's acting is amazing for a freshman appearence and pras hits the sympathetic actor alrite. I give it about 7.5/10 on my scale and would highly suggest watching it to any fan of hip hop. The soundtrack to go with it/songs preformed within the movie by ja rule and pras are also very good.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: unexpected
Review: Going into this movie, I expected alot of bs. Especially noting that the two lead characters were rappers; I must give alot of props to Ja Rule, he actually was a pretty good actor! Also, I expected alot of gun fights, with no real plot. However I was pleasantly proved wrong. This movie actually gives us a chance as the audience to get in tune with the characters. In return giving us the ability to be sympythetic towards them, and what they're going through. The plot is pretty simple, two 20 something black males, trying to get over their 'cash-flow' problem. One, who's love is music, the other just want any method of getting 'set for life.' Throught the movie, we see what obsticles they must cross in order for their dreams to become reality. Even though the start is slow, the tone of this picture slowly developes so that you'll still want to sit through til' the end!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Good God! What is this ...? Needs a zero star!
Review: I gave it a chance and not suprisingly I was thoroughly sickened. This is one of the latest in a crop of Hip Hop crime dramas featuring the same horrible rappers that fuel the ... soundtracks in the acting roles. This movie left a foul taste in my mouth and quite a headache. This is further proof that Rap is ruining all forms of entertainment. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this incorrigible trash. Word Yo!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: HOT
Review: I was very pleasantly surprised with this film. Pras and especially Ja do incredible jobs acting, not dealing with their initial professions it's quite impressive how natural it seems to come to them.

Ja in his debut is about par or actually even a notch better than DMX in Belly. I can't wait to see him in his next appearance, let's just hope it's not a 4 line, 30 second appearance like DMX's "cameo" in Romeo Must Die.

The story flows nicely with interesting transitions and dramatic, unexpected situations. Cinematography is top-notch, very nice colors, visuals, and angles all throughout. I highly recommend this film to just about everyone.

HE IS THE FINEST MUSICIAN OUT THERE...WHY WOULD ANYBODY HATE ON HIS MOVIE...BESIDES THAT JA RULE IS IN IT...IT IS HAS A TIGHT PLOT...A GOOD CAST...AND JA RULE AND PRAS ARE KEEPING IT GULLY THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE MOVIE...I WOULD NEVER EVER RATE A JA RULE MOVIE LOWER THAN 5 PLUS STARS OUT OF FIVE STARS...HE NEEDS TO KEEP STARRING IN TIGHT MOVIES...HOLLA HOLLA...ONE...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ok
Review: The movie was just ok. And the movie has a great cast like ja rule and jason statham from the transporter.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: It was pure [baloney], but I kinda liked it...
Review: The plot was tired, but the acting was ok especially Ja Rule who seemed a natural to his role. Not a bad first outing Ja.
Pras co-produced and I think he should stick to doing that. His character just seemed too disinterested, or perhaps it was just Pras.
Props to Robert Adetuyi for writing and directing - Jolly good show mah men, but did the editing kill the flow?
Keep up the work guys, hey everyone's a critic...
