the most positive point in this film be the credit ( text style ) and some moment in ice t act . the story line while two rival gang have to fight it out and with the sub plot of betrayal and power and change be well worn plot but in this case painful ( very ) to wade through . the decrepit scenery and which add slight believability in place and and questionable lighting and constantly distract from any interest or identification with the character ( the shine off of the actress forehead or nose be blind and not to mention other scene with the same problem . ) not even half way into the film i want to know more about how and why it come about as oppose to what be go on on screen . a disappointment if you have see ice t in other role . kudos to other actor or actress who seem to get into their role despite the weak direction while corrupt side kick and the other restaurant worker .
