Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.

Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

riahj18 See, I agree that this movie is low budget, but I think it has less to do with who's in it and more to do with a rush job. If I'm not mistaken this movie is based on the times of a boxer who died just a year ago. I heard about it on the news, if this is the same guy. But I digress, I've seen both Woodbine and Cox in much better roles, I think it was just the timing factors of this movie. Maybe. I can't think of a role of Woodbine's (though I know I've seen them) but Deborah Cox is in the movie Love Come DOwn, and a David E. Talbert play called Love On Layaway, in which she does a phenomenal job on both, and they're both of better quality.

Yankee701 I saw the movie and although it's obvious that it is a super low budget project I can't say enough about actor playing the part of Vegas. IMDb says his name is John Sorrenti. This guy has to be a real wiseguy hired to do the flick. His comments and expressions come off so natural. Keep an eye out for this guy, he's going places. I've seen Bokeem Woodbine in better of course, for instance, there's "Dead Presidents". I actually felt bad for him in that when Chris Tuckers character punched him in the face as their sitting there counting their money. He needs that breakout role that a lot of guys are waiting for. Hopefully it will not only come to him, but John Sorrenti also. I think I may have seen him in an episode of the Sopranos.

daddy_d1 Just watched this DVD. I was impressed at how even a cheesy story had two talented actors. Bokeem Woodbine is a Terence Howard in the rough. He needs that break out role! This movie was obviously super low budget. I kept wondering if I was watching video. The sets were extremely cheap looking. I want to see hood movies that are different. Character driven. I loved Deborah Cox. I don't understand how she to is not in more better quality juicy roles. Come on how can Craig Brewer get it perfect with hustle and flow and Directors from the hood can't? Cowboy director...keep trying. We need better quality stories! This story gets a D+ in my book.

kingpin33 possible spoiler ahead...not that you would even care...what the hell is this film trying to be..Rocky or Bloodsport it isn't! the fighting and acting in this film is atrocious.there is a fight about half way in inside a taxi cab and the 2 idiots sit there and then out of the blue start attempting to fight,you can clearly see they miss each other by 5 miles and the actual way its put together is the funniest slapstick fighting I've ever seen to this date (Woodbine) is usually a good actor and can slip into a role but he is no martial artist or boxer so quite why he is portrayed as a good fighter is beyond me because he clearly sucks..watch this tripe if you need a good laugh because it made me sit there mouth to floor with how bad the whole experience is >>Laff at the Champion is a better name for it...arse
