I find it absurd how many users believed this movie to be a "real" or at all a factually rooted depiction of the Jamaican and Miami criminal life. You people really need to read some books and turn down the rap music. This is absolutely one of the worst movies I have ever seen because it is absolutely unbelievable from the very start to any person with a brain over the age of 18. If you gave me one word to describe it, I would use cheesy. Unintentional comedy and poor acting is laden throughout the film, like the scene when the camera zooms out and Max is using a decapitated arm to smoke a cigarette (hilarious). The screen play seems like it was written by ametuers that neglected any sort of research on their subject before penning it. This movie is at its best, a decently filmed student film, but as an actual feature film it is laughable.
During "intense" shoot out scenes, the movie shamelessly borrows its score from the Matrix. The scene when the lead character, Biggs, pulls his car up to Wyclef Jean as he's standing on the corner, playing a "Haitan Gangster," and has his extortion attempt foiled, might've been the single stupidest and worst written scenes in any gangster movie. The entire movie is just not believable, which is the key to any good or decent crime movie. The movie shouldn't play out like an ignorant fantasy, but rather like the story you read about in the news paper on your way to work. The only thing the movie was good for was the soft-porn scenes with two smoking hot girls, Biggz's girl and the jewelry store girl. The sound track featured some good songs as well, although if this was a real movie I highly doubt any of those rappers would allow their songs to appear on this pitiful rendition of a movie.
