Third World Cop

In this well paced, down-to-earth film, we are introduced to "Capone," a tough "shoot-first, ask questions later" cop.

After a transfer back to his old neighborhood in "Dungle," one of the poverty-stricken tenements of Kingston, Jamaica, he uncovers a burgeoning gun running operation headed by the local Don, "Wonie".

Capone is a force to be reckoned with - one doubts he will encounter many problems -until he finds out that one of the Don's main men (Ratty) is the young brother of Capone's best friend from his youth.

The film captures some of the spirit of "The Harder They Come" in an updated fashion. The story remains tragic but is well complemented by true-to-life characters and a healthy dose of comic relief.

Subtitles could use work - there are times when you can understand the patois that they use subtitles. Other times dialogue is incomprehensible and no subtitles are used.

All in all a good job at portraying an all too common story in the tenements and "yards" of Jamaica. If you read "Born fi' Dead" and enjoyed it you will also enjoy this film.

The story is simple enough. Cop comes back to his old 'hood but this time its in Kingston, Jamaica. That means dancehall, reggae and a great performance by Paul Campbell who was also in Dancehall Queen. Very entertaining and worth watching because of Campbell's acting. He moves the film along and is a presence on the screen. The "Dancehall Queen" Audrey Reid plays the love interest. The acting is good all the way around. The scenes were shot in the area of Dungle.

In his first full length movie Ali G has done wonderfully well. He has managed to transpose his everyday life from back home in Staines to the ghetto of Jamaca man.

The acting is first class. Capone is all class he reminds me of a young Clint Eastwood in this flick. Let me tell you his career is going to skyrocket (remember you heard it first here!).

The plot is intriguing and complicated -to complicated to describe here, but let me just say there is a lot of shooting!

I reccomend anybody who enjoyed this film should see "Pay It Forward" or "The Importance of being Ernest".

this is nick. signing off. untill next time. stay cool you batty boys.

Small town cop in Jamaica returns to Kingston to fight organized crime through his effective but not always nice methods.

Normally I dislike shot on video dramas since they come off as ultra cheap an inept, this film however bucks the trend is a pretty good little crime drama. The action is quite good and has a realistic feel and the performances are there and not the typical sort of posturing one often finds in films of this sort. It all works. Best of all the video production actually adds an immediacy that most movies shot on film don't have. This is one to consider if it hits cable or you see it in blockbuster. Its not the be all and end all but its worth a shot if you're doing a double feature.

Loved the plot and acting in this movie. Even though it's low budget everyone made it work and played their part.
