"I Rented this Film because I saw an Ad in a magazine that showed The Cover of the DVD Case with MORGAN FREEMAN Starring and saying what a Great Film it Was! THE AD AND DVD CASE IS VERY DECEIVING! This is By Far ONE OF THE WORST FILMS OF ALL TIME! First Off, if you are a Morgan Freeman Fan, please be aware that Morgan Freeman has a VERY SMALL PART and doesnt even appear until an hour into the film! This Film is so SHAMEFULLY BAD! It looks like it was shot with a Camcorder and the Editing is HORRIBLE! There are parts of the film in which the sound doesnt even match the scene! How a great actor of High Caliber such as Morgan Freeman got suckered into doing this film is beyond me. Maybe he was doing a relative or friend a favor by "starring" in it! The Acting is Terrible and there is NOT ONE REDEEMING QUALITY about this film! Save yourself the agonoy and the money and DO NOT BUY OR RENT THIS DVD! MORGAN FREEMAN, SHAME ON YOU!"
Oh.............!

"terrible......bad, bad, who made this movie dont feel shame.
Morgan Freeman appears two minutes at the begining and another two minutes at the end (without talking) M.Freeman works four minutes.
The movie is 80' long. The first 10'with credits......the last 10' with credits. The movie is at least one hour long.
I have loose one hour of my my life.
Excuse my english, I speak spanish."
Somewhat original, but an overall disappointment....

"Like many people else who posted a review here, I was fooled by the trailers and ads which all showed Morgan Freeman as one of the main roles, but it turns out he only had a very small amount of cameo appearances near the ending and the very first scene. I first off noticed all the mangled camera shots, cheap sound effects, and pour directing, that was going too far to reach something original. I found all of that disrupting the movie. But as the movie went on, I found out it had somewhat of a heart, and showed the reality of the harsh lives of gangsters living in one of the most crime populated areas in the U.S., Washington D.C., where almost a third of the gangsters popularing the country are living. The characterization was built up pretty good overall, but the pace of the movie was off, making it somewhat dull and boring. It wouldn't pass off as an exciting thriller, because it's not. So, unless you like movies with gang wars and some meaning tied into the end, you could maybe rent this movie once. It's worth a look, but those looking for action-packed crime dramas, or fast-paced crime thrillers, this is a movie you should skip over and just go on with Training Day and Narc. I think that this movie had potential to become something bigger, but failed to trick audiences in the ways we like to be tricked."
5 star crap
