      Greatest Movie Ever Made

      "I didn't kill yo' friend, man." "It don't matter, killa."

      Finally, someone makes a movie tru 2 life in da hood. Stuff like dis happen in my hood like everyday. It's about a kung fu master who run a clique up in da hood, and a few brothas get caught up in da game when his brotha get killed and these brothas is thought to have done it. The kung fu master send his clique to find tha innocent brothas, and they on da run. Dis same thing happen to my cousin last month.

      Tha acting is good. It talk all about da struggle in da hood to get out of da hood, and all da kung fu fights in da hood. The main guy got moves, but da kung fu master think he killed his brotha, so he wanna kill him, but he say "I win, I walk. It's da code."

      Finally, someone make a movie tru 2 life and tru 2 da code in da hood. Play on, playa! Keep making movies!

      God please take this movie

      There is no plot, no point and no reason to watch this movie. Just bad bad bad all the way around. The only reason I watched it was for the babe with the big .....well you know. If you want to see a good movie this is not it, watch just about any other B movie and it will be a significant improvement. Dolemite with Rudy Ray Moore kicks this thugs butt.

      A Serious Film With Dashes Of Comedy

      It's hard to know whether this film is a drama or a comedy. On the one hand, it's serious because the film tries to make the point that living like a thug isn't what you want to do. Yet, the film is sometimes funny with the over the top martial arts scenes and it seems to overshadow the point of the film. Maybe the director, Greg Carter, wanted to show the dark thug life in a lighter light so that people would get the point. Either way, the film is entertaining and funny at times and the point that Greg Garter is supposedly willing to make is not lost on its audience.

      Awful

      This movie is absolutely awful. It looks as if the director came up with the idea, grabbed some buddies, and shot it on a vhs camera. Absolutely awful. The acting, directing, kung fu, and plot are awful. Awful movie.
