“The plot: A drug dealer makes a deal with the devil to become the biggest, baddest dealer in the city.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eLike everyone else, I watched this movie because of Esai Morales and Ving Rhames. Unfortunately, itu0026#39;s not really all that great of a movie. Still, I kind of liked it, despite it being an overt morality tale that spends much of time lecturing the viewer. Itu0026#39;s got a certain degree of charm, I suppose. Or maybe Iu0026#39;m just being too forgiving, because I pity the careers of Rhames and Morales, who are actually pretty good actors. Anyway, itu0026#39;s a perfectly serviceable plot, and, despite some less than stellar directing, the end result is perfectly watchable. If youu0026#39;re looking for something other than a low budget, independent exploitation movie, I think youu0026#39;re going to be writing u0026quot;worst movie ever!u0026quot; threads in the comments.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI canu0026#39;t really say that this is the sort of movie that you remember, because about 30 minutes into it, I realized that Iu0026#39;d already seen it. Thatu0026#39;s kind of a bad sign. Still, I sat through it again, and Iu0026#39;m not entirely regretful. When youu0026#39;re a Ving Rhames fan, sometimes you have to sit through some truly awful movies, and this was not his worst.”
