brother in arm be the late in the sub genre of hip hop western and which still strike me a a great idea and but have yet to be realize into something more worthy than direct to video fare ( wild wild west include ) . this film doesn not change that . it do have passable performance from gabriel casseus and raymond cruz to off set the outright horrible one of antwon tanner and kenya moore . good than average ( at least for direct to video ) cinematography be overshadow by the stale production design and dismal writing and dead action sequence and and repetitive stock hip hop music . hip hop could hack it in a western and just hear t bone burnett work with the nappy root in the ladykillers and imagine the possibility . but here and it a complete distraction . how jean claude la marre ever nab david carradine for this and i can only guess and but he do as good a job a anyone could have do with the writing and and in this kind of wreck and professionalism be the most you could ask for . the last 5 minute be so pretentious and melodramatic and they border on unwatchable . please and save the song for the credit next time . if you want the scene to be powerful and give u a character that we have a reason to care about . here to the next effort in this sub genre and may it be something deep and resonant . ernest dickerson and where be you when we need you .
