Wesley Snipes makes this movie in my mind. I don't know if I could ever have seen anyone else playing this lead role. I actually think I laughed more at Rock in this semi-serious role that he played as compared to all the dud movies he has put out. The story line isn't anything special, but scenes like when Snipes is in the court room make me sad to see him head to the pokey. Never was a big IceT fan (movies or music) but thought he did nothing to harm the film.

Chances are everyone will have forgotten this movie in ten years. I think it's a well-made, unpretentious police thriller. It helps a lot that Wesley Snipes has charisma to burn

Watchable. It's basically like the black version of Scarface (itself a remake of "Little Caeser"), except without any of the style and humor of the 70's blaxploitation remakes with a similar theme, like "Black Caeser". Has a few neat scenes, but a lot of the material is silly Hollywood BS presented in an overly serious, gritty manner. Mario Van Peebles was the son of a movie star, not a gangster. His portrayal of this world is about as accurate as that of any suburban white kid.

Bad acting and a clumsy screenplay don't matter that much with an atmosphere like this. Van Peebles directs with style.

The first gangsta street film of the 90s, it sometimes is weighed down by its message and mediocre direction, but it is nonetheless chilling. Watch for a surprising performance by Chris Rock.

A gangster classic from the 90's. It has a great cast and an even greater soundtrack. I remember watching this movie repeatedly when this came out on video and still do now on DVD. Wesley Snipes character Nino Brown is by far his best career performance that hasn't been topped since. "Am I my brother's keeper? Yes I am."
