Eriq La Salle was totally unconvincing as Jamaican drug lord - loved Vinnie though, Patrick Bergen got h-e-a-v-y

Not only was this film awful, but my DVD was dodgy, so I missed the last 6 minutes of the film.

Tragedy.

A very broad range of actors in this film. Lennox Lewis had me pissing myself when he was on the bin in the street! I thought the end was a bit predictable though. Not bad at all.
