Good movie but grossly overrated

best movie i've ever seen.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

First off, Busta Rhymes and Xzibit are 2 of my most favorite rappers ever. When I saw both were in a movie together, i flipped. This movie is just plain bad. The city of "Alabaster" only about 500 or so people living in it. But in the scenes when Pope (Busta) is driving you can clearly see it a lot larger than its supposed to be. I even saw skyscrapers in one shot. Sheriff Wallace was totally miss-cast, I wasn't even convinced that he was a sheriff. This movie also has some of the worst lines I have ever heard. The pace of the movie is quick at first, but then begins to drag early on. Another thing that was missing was accents, its in Alabama. I live in Georgia, I know not everyone has a southern draw, but some of the locals of "Alabaster" had northern accents. I could go on, but it just makes me sadder. Anyway just rent it first, then if you like it buy it. But I just wasn't feeling it. Peace.

The adventures of a certain hero Pope hits it off in a pathetic Equlibrium style (not even Neo) and flow toward the so predictable. I guess this is the movie about the bad white guy up to a point, then comes the story of the bad black guy, followed by the revenge of the hero - all action packed in the adventures of this Pope dude. It's really bad and clichéd - script wise - and the one name director makes it seem even less original and inciting. The best thing this movie does is offer some great insight to the characters...especially the female ones. Its hardly possible to count all the things which are wrong in the film (absurd and pointless characters, to name just one), so I won't even bother trying. In my twisted mind I came to compare it to the "rap style" - a style I am not really fond of: it's contradictory and violent, while trying to convey its "message". It proves that rap should restrain to its three minute long songs, rather than one and a half hour long movies. The material simply doesn't suffice.

The movie opens with a nice shoot-out scene, unfortunately the movie goes downhill from that point on. The following 87 minutes of the movie feature some of the worst acting I've seen in a long time. And it's not just the main character, played by Busta Rhymes, it's almost everyone in the entire movie (how is this possible?). With action movies I don't think an original plot is a necessity, although its preferable, but the dialogue/acting is pretty bad, so bad actually, I could hardly put myself up to watch the entire piece. To sum it up: the action-scenes are OK I guess, not very good but entertaining. However the acting is pretty bad (pretty = really) and the plot is non-existent. If you can't help yourself, rent it, if you're smart, you'll spend the 90 minutes you need to watch this movie doing something more useful and fun, like re-arranging your sock drawer.My opinion: 3/10 (and I'm being lenient)

I've seen this movie, where to begin? It stars Busta Rhymes and Xzibit as lead characters, with a weak plot. Horrible dialogue and scenes. It may sound strange, but XZibit and Rhymes being the lead characters wasn't the main reason this picture failed. I think if they had a supporting plot, character relations and dialogue it would have been sub-par, compared to just plain horrible.The plot follows Rhymes' character 'Pope' who is returning to the town where his father was killed. Thats about as deep as the story goes right there. Some shotty action scenes complemented by no real direction bring this "picture" to a close.Don't see it unless you like critiquing.
