Basically an updated remake of Bucktown......
with Bus as Fred Williamson.......and that pretty model in the Pam Grier role.
This is halfway decent flick that could have been a great and funny B movie.... good performances from X to the Z, and from Spliff Starr as a "latino thug"...... I tried to watch the entire flick without pushing the fast forward button...but after 3 attempts..I just gave up.
Busta has good screen presence..but this director does him dirty by shooting this movie like it was an After School Special.He tries his best fill the "Hammer's" on screen shoes though with tough talk, swagger, and beat downs galore...
The model in Pam Grier's role.....cannot fill her shoes..or her bra, for that matter.....she's cleavage deprived..fortunately...one of the women playing Bus' father's girlfriend has more than enough cleavage to make up for that. Her name is Masasa....and her cleavage baring wake-weeping shot steals the scene......
She is fully developed......which is the opposite of what I can say for this film......Full Clip is really only shell casings....

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.

A slow-paced but "noirish" action comedy, Bustah Rhymes is perfect as a tough guy who unwittingly goes to collect his inheritance and ends up in a fight with a local sheriff. This is a whole lot better than the predictable, hip hop movie formulaic drivel that Hollywood insists on releasing. Xzibit and Spliff are good comic relief as his sidekicks that get greedy. Bubba"Hightower"Smith shows up as a talkative Hotel manager.
This quirky tale loosely interlaced around a western has a weird funeral director and ellen cleghorn as a sidewalk psychic "Mistress Cleo" type. This was a very offbeat film which really didn't go anywhere but was still interesting and amusing. I appreciated all the cool action with the dual pistols Joshua pope had. Wyclef jean is very good as the guitar playing prophet and narrator of Pope. The film had good energy and cool art direction, well worth watching.

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.

This movie is basically like a 90 minute music video I like rap, gangster action movies, and it has all of the above. For some reason, someone thinks, if they can sing/rap, then i guess the can act. Thats like letting your psychiatrist take the place of your surgeon and do open heart surgery because they're both doctors.
It has lots of action, which is good. The music is good if you like rap. It even has a decent plot. However, it has some of the worst acting I've seen since hitmans run(search it on IMDb lol). I'm sure full clip has more of a budget than hitmans run, and it is definitely better.
Just don't watch this movie expecting a great movie. Like i said its more like a music video. If you can find a trailer I'm sure you can see some of the bad acting in it.
If you REALLY like rap movies, then you would probably enjoy this. Another movie like this, Never Die Alone with DMX(not that good but better than this) might be an alternative suggestion. It has better acting but is kind of strange.
