Just a movie. Nothing special, predictable story, bad dialogues, the acting was not so convincing, ... A movie to forget.

Extremely derivative hiphop-fu movie. Shares about 70% of the cast and crew with Exit Wounds.

Jet Li does some cool one handed fighting until he uses his other then you know "it's on." Aside from that there's nothing good about this movie.

Every one of the 50 points I'm giving this film for a rank are deserved purely for Jet Li's incredible martial arts skill. He's just fun to watch no matter what movie he's in. Too bad everything else about this film was terrible. Word of advice: Don't expect much from movies that don't take the time to spell out two letter words. Crap!

Is DMX the worst actor to ever grace the silver screen? Quite possibly, based on this evidence.

I love Jet Li, I even loved Romeo Must Die, but this was just too much. 20 points for Jet Li, 10 points because Gabrielle Union has a pretty hot scene, and that's all I'm willing to give it.

Not really knowing what score to give I used the shown PSI. Yep! This bad! If this was some decent kung-fu/ blaxploitation for the noughties it would better. But for all the violence on display here and the brief nudity there's all that PC crap about not using guns and the cute little girl and the good hearted/ dedicated daddy on a character that should be just a bad mother! Saw it on TV 'cos my DVD player is broken, and I'll rapidly forget it.

Absolutely hilarious bad movie. "What are you, some kind of kung fu James Bond?!" Bad dialogue, hilariously nonsensical villainous plot, rap soundtrack, kung fu, Gabirelle Union does a striptease. A must-see for bad movie aficionados.

Terrible, but I cannot keep myself from watching it if I see it on TBS. I always stop after Gabrielle Union's striptease, who wants to see the king of kitchen stadium killed by a poisonous gas ball?

The nonsensical cage match intercut with the chase scene is the highlight of the film, and very entertaining, but most of the content in this film is not only poor, but cliched. Plus there's a strip scene in which the camera practically goes up the girl's butt. Thanks a lot filmmakers, there ARE straight women out there who like martial arts movies.

Jet Li. What more can I say? I enjoyed this a little more than Romeo Must Die, although both movies do have their own thrill and pull affixed to them. A good action piece.

DMX and Tom Arnold ruin whatever little entertainment there was in this. Jet Li's worst movie by far and just a poor idea all around.

the action sucks, the story sucks, the macguffin is used stupidly, jet li is barely used and when he is the direction robs us of getting into it. dmx as a leading man is bad, but not half as bad as the cheesy acting from all of the villains. was expecting a guilty pleasure, but now i just have to wash my hands from this.

The filmmakers and actors responsible must question how advantageous it was to dedicate their time to something so inconsequential. With such little innovation and a story not believable enough to care one iota about, the only thing left to do is admire the pyrotechnics and fight choreography. "Cradle 2 the Grave" is a big-screen version of junk food. Nutritionally, it is worthless, but it can be fun to experience. You'll just kick yourself afterward for wasting your time.

When Jet Li acted together with Aaliyah in Romeo must die, it was really good to watch. DMX in other hand should stick with rapping and stay away from movie screens. Speaking of which, the soundtrack really matches the action. So, as a overlong music video it really works but not as a movie.

It's OK. Not the best out there. The end-credit is fun tho.
