You've seen it all before: the childhood street pals hit the crisis point when Diamond wants to go straight and hot-headed Gage aspires to become the baddest gangsta on the block. Ja Rule plays the loose cannon bad boy Gage with pent-up anger and a bullying sneer, a firecracker next to burnt-out match Pras, whose commitment-shy suffering artist has a sleepy, withdrawn blandness until he's out on the streets. \"I can't guarantee I'll be there for you,\" Diamond lamely sputters to his pregnant girlfriend before heading back out for a night of music and gunplay, coming to life with two-fisted ferocity as he coolly empties clip after clip into rival gangs. Director-screenwriter Robert Adetuyi never worries about reconciling the two sides of Diamond, and the contradictory clichés about loyalty and responsibility are delivered without a trace of irony. The John Woo-inspired action scenes are the highlights of the film, flashy, high-energy explosions of excitement that reveal Diamond as a cool-headed, criminally sharp gangster at heart. He just doesn't know it, and the film is too embarrassed to admit it. This glib, sense-numbing action fantasy coasts on the energy of the action and the music while having it both ways: violence without personal consequences and decisions without repercussions. --Sean Axmaker\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B000059HA6\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B000059HA6.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Pras|Ja Rule|Jason Statham|Vondie Curtis-Hall|John Ralston|Tamala Jones|Chris Messina|Eugene Clark|Derwin Jordan|Faith Evans|Patrice Goodman|Robert Adetuyi|Elain R.
