Warning: Spoilers
This is, without question, one of the worst movies I have ever endured viewing.

The directing was horrible, the acting was like porn - only without the inherent benefits, the screenplay was an insult to the term 'mediocre', the sound production was awful, shot selection and editing were haphazard and disjointed.

The story drags, meanders, wanders, and jumps without rhyme or reason. The characters are completely unsympathetic, and stereotypes are blatantly perpetuated in caricature (redneck racist rapist; fat black "gangsta" with a "ho", lots of "bling", and an SUV).

Frank Vincent must have owed Joe Ariola a favor, as I was mortified by the inclusion of such a brilliant actor in such a deplorable film effort. I also expected more out of Chuck Zito (HBO's "Oz"), but his role was paper-thin - and he seemed to sleepwalk through it. Raekwon offers one of the most tolerable and believable performances as the head villain - and that, in itself, is a frightening fact.

Do not waste your time, hard-earned money, or brain cells on this festering puddle of biohazard waste. A truly lousy film - breathtakingly inadequate and insulting to the intelligence of an average 13-year-old.
