I love Terry Crews. Even his amazing draw and enthusiasm could not save this awful script with a $10k budget. Story is about drug war with a victim caught in the middle who seeks refuge with Crews and his dad. Pretty straight forward but just a bad script. Wouldn't recommend it.
Everyone involved in this film should be embarrassed. It has a terrible story line, unnecessary extreme profanity, and is overall a two-thumbs-down candidate for "worst film ever made". It is an atrocious assault and assassination of the character of John Henry who was deemed a legendary hero and this movie is so awful it seems like it is a deliberate attempt to do so.
Terry Crews should be much more selective about the movie roles he chooses in the future or his career is going in the toilet where this movie belongs.

The plot of this film moves at a snail's pace, and ultimately doesn't go anywhere. It really makes very little sense. The concept isn't a terrible idea, but what really confuses me is that the writer also directed this film, and couldn't bring it together any better than this. Confusing flashbacks that are uninteresting at best, and gunfights with people standing around, looking down gun barrels just waiting to get shot. The only excitement came from my anger at the wasted potential of this film.
Big Terry Crews fan as well as Chris Bridges. The under motivated writing was drowned out by the soundtrack, which seemed to have a new tune every 5 lines or two minutes. I couldn't tell if this was a movie or a music video, noting the overwhelming music. The audio didn't help either. I spent 90 minutes with the volume controller in my hand between the ominous music tones and the low muttering lines spit. Just because something is in the top 10 on Netflix doesn't mean it's good, it's trending and those props go to the two aforementioned actors alone. Without Terry and Chris, no one would have watched this film. Disappointed to say the least. There are no spoilers to report because the movie itself is spoiled.
I love all the Terry Crews movies, but this was the most boring and terrible movie i have ever seen.
