I thought this might be a "rap" film only but was suprised by it's behind the scenes look inside the music business, it's great story and performances by Nelly and the rest of the cast. Director Murray, is clearly in charge of the material.....can't wait to see what he does next! Excellent!

OMG, I LOVED this movie!!!!! I happen to catch it on VH1 last night and I stayed up until 1:30am to make sure I saw the end of it. At first I was somewhat skeptical about how good it would be, but as the movie went on, it just got better and better and I knew that I had to watch the whole thing. I plan on finding it on DVD soon so that I can let all my friends see it. I don't want to give away the plot to people who hasn't seen it, but I will say that this is a wonderful, well-acted, never boring movie. I loved the actor who plated Erik, he has talent and I hope to see him in more movies. So if you can, please see this movie. But beware there is a lot of violence, but not so much that you can't enjoy it.

To me Snipes has one of the best plots I've seen in a movie. The action never stops and you can never once guess what will happen next. There is always another twist. Dean Winters is a great evil villain and he really makes you hate him. Zoe Saldana is gorgeous as always and a very good actress. Seeing Nelly in it was interesting but he played a part anyone could of played so I'm pretty impartial to his performance. Not bad but not amazing. This is a movie that never gets talked about or anything, and I'm surprised. It's one of my favorites and I recommend it to anyone who likes thrillers, gangster movies, crime dramas, and even rap movies.
