"BEFORE YA EVEN PICK THIS MOVIE UP, YOU SHOULD ALREADY KNOW THAT THE ACTING IS GONNA BE TERRIBLE AND THE FILMING IS GONNA BE CHEAP. BUT, SOMETIMES, IT'S SO STUPID THAT IT GETS FUNNY. BEFORE HE RETIRES FROM ''THE GAME'', A GANG LORD [SNOOP DOGG] DOES ONE FINAL JOB. BUT, HIS HOMEBOY [TRAY DEEE] SETS HIM UP FOR A MURDER HE DIDN'T COMMIT. WANTING REVENGE, HE BREAKS OUT OF JAIL AND GOES ON THE HUNT FOR THE MAN WHO SENT HIM TO JAIL AND KIDNAPPED HIS GIRL. STUPID BUT UNDENIABLY FUNNY. I WAS GON GIVE THIS MOVIE 1 STAR AT FIRST, BUT AFTER REALIZING HOW FUNNY IT WAS, I DECIDED TO RAISE IT BY 1 MORE STAR. THUGS, MOST FANS OF SNOOP DOGG, AND MOST FANS OF GANGSTA MOVIES WILL LIKE THIS. BUT OTHERS NEEDN'T EVEN BOTHER."

It's no John Singleton Film!

"Released as a promotional tool for Snoop's new rap group, this movie is actually just a home movie with a bunch of Snoop's friends playing parts. Fans of the West Coast rap scene will notice not just Snoop but such greats as Warren G, RBX, Jayo Felony, and Xzibt, just to name a few.The movie can be of the "so bad, it's good" variety at times. The dialouge is just awful as Snoop plays a kingpin set up for the murder of a Jamacian drug posse. Big Tray Deee is the new crime boss who set up old Snoop. Now, Big Snoop and his comedy sidekick have to break out of prison and go to war. The acting, fight sequences, and overall pace is just laughable.
Half of the movie was filmed in Snoop's house as you can clearly see all of his old posters and plaques on the wall. The film was recorded on a digital camera and follows the same boring and predictable concepts that often come with many rapper movies where the lead character is an invincble and invunerable super-gangster who never gets beat up or made a fool. He even goes pound for pound with Tray, who is clearly a lot bigger than he is. If you're looking for some good fun and want to see what kind of movie Snoop and his pals can make with a video camera, check this out but it makes previous album-inspired movies, MURDER WAS THE CASE and THE GAME OF LIFE look like cinematic classics in comparison."

Don't listen to that stupid review below.

"There is a review posted giving this movie 1 star, saying that it destroys americas youth. I am one of americas youth, and this movie has not done anything harmful to me or even made me think or act poorly on anything that they are accusing these films of doing. This movie does not do anything of the sort. It is an interesting movie which is fun to watch and even kinda provacative. I give it 3.5 stars, but i gave it 5 stars because i needed to raise the average because that one reveiw unfairly lowered it too much. If you like snoop and gangsta flicks, rent this movie you should enjoy the film. At the very least it deserves a rent."
