Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Jul 21, 2005 Full Review Scott Weinberg Apollo Guide Taken as a disposable sort of cable television flick, this movie could capably fill 90-some uneventful minutes. Rated: 47/100 Jan 24, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Quite possibly the worst movie ever. If I could give a negative rating, I would for this movie. Seems like some guy had some connections from the business world and got a movie made so he can act all badass in it, except he doesn't. Main character acts like he's some narcissistic Messiah, as if he's the only person in the world, or is having a personality crisis. "I'm what you would call one of those complex black men", he says at the beginning.... but what does your skin color have to do with having a complex personality? nothing... so why declare your skin color when it doesn't matter? Just because you're bad in real life, doesn't mean you'll look like it on screen, I guess. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member This is actually a terrible movie, a 1 star movie made 3 stars by the fact it is HILARIOUSLY BAD. If you ever want to piss yourself laughing, then watch this movie. Spoiler alert! The man spends 15 minutes going on about how much he loves this girl, but he has to kill her as a contract kill. You spend the whole time thinking he's gonna save her & it will be a great love story, then suddenly he just shoots her! Big surprise, it made me laugh so much! The movie is about supposedly tough assassins but he spends about 5 minutes of the movie talking about how to make CORNBREAD, the movie seems to turn into a boring cooking program. The fight scenes are utterly ridiculous. Doing one hand hand stands and shooting the gun, strange unnecessary footwork before shooting guns in ever more absurd ways. The whole movie is badly acted & most of it boring, but there are moments of pure joy & hilarity - all unintended I think. I watched this on a bus in Peru, with a bunch of Peruvians wondering why me & my friend were both laughing historically the entire movie. One of the best experiences of my life. Its the main reason I actually went out & bought this on video! If anyone enjoys those bad movies that are funny, then I implore everyone to watch this at least once Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member could be good, but it's not. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member A bit of a random flick this, it seems to be having a bit of a personality crisis as the tone is all over the place, one minute overly comedic the next a straight up action flick. Treach is fine on the lead role, though I think the film makers could have eased up on the voiceover, its a little intrusive at times. Better than I expected though instantly disposable. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a pretty good low budget film. Straight to DVD that is. I enjoyed it.
