i catch this movie late at night while channel surfing and be immediately enthral . omar epps be absolutely fantastic in this movie and his on screen presence be worth at least view this movie once . shakur be a bit and shall we say and overly dramatic and but not to the point of get annoy or look at this a a cheesy b movie . the storyline isn not a bad one and serve to entertain as well a teach . it actually succeed in do both . grant and the movie be a bit predictable and but thankfully this doesn not ruin the experience entirely . overall and i give the movie 8 star . the only real drawback be it somewhat predictability and shakur tendency to overact .
