Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Actor/producer Wesley Snipes (The Detonator Blade: Trinity) three-time Golden GlobeĀ® award winner Cybill Shepherd (Taxi Driver TV's 'Moonlighting') and actor/writer/producer Mario Van Peebles (Baadasssss! Ali) star is this quirky stylized fast-paced thriller with a touch of social commentary about three seemingly disparate stories that converge in an explosive climax: our first duo an infamous ex-con and gangster 'Lucky' whose attempts to capitalize on his second chance in life as a socially conscious law-abiding citizen are thwarted by a series of misadventures that propel him back to life on the run and thrusts him into an unlikely love affair with 'Angela' a feisty tough-talking Latina pole dancer; our second duo an oddly matched couple 'Cass' and 'Chang' who find new and twisted ways to mix their deadly business with pleasure as the modern-day Bonnie and Clyde of serial killers'a couple you wouldn't want to have over as houseguests; and our third duo 'Rainn' and 'Roland' a couple pondering their own moral compass about success failure love and life. The three parallel story lines with these very different people from diverse walks of life converge in an exciting crescendo where each character has to play the cards that life has dealt them to the best of their ability. And in the end one day becomes the luckiest day of an unlucky man's life.System Requirements:Running Time: 101 MinutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: MYSTERY/SUSPENSE Rating: R UPC: 043396147973 Manufacturer No: 14797

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Another good'un from Wesley & Others
I must admit any time I see a Wesley Snipes movie on DVD I am a buyer, simply because the guy has great screen presence (I still see him as the best black actor in the general Clint Eastwood/Bruce Willis type roles zone) and usually (with admittedly a few notable exceptions) he avoids appearing in too many turkeys!

Snipes as usual does not disappoint in this 2006 offering, with a well balanced acting role of "Lucky", a gangster ("hell I probably killed more blacks than the Klu Klux Klan!") ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Okay but passable
The story itself is weak and in parts, it does come together. While watching I thought it is just a copy of "pulp fiction" complete with psycho.

The acting is okay. Snipes is about the best and at least his character has some character.

The filming is good.

If you have an hour or two to kill it is okay.




Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - what are these people talking about?
yeah, it is not the greatest thriller i have ever seen - but it does a respectable job of keeping the viewer engrossed.

the plot is not as confusing as it is made out to be - pretty straight forward imo - except for some complexity as to who is involved in the drug deal setup - but that's only a side plot which does not have too much of a bearing on the main plot.

snipes has not lost it yet and is still the cool action cat, his latino partner shows potential and will shine brighter ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - A Hollywood Version of an Independent Creative Film: Ding!
Mario Van Peebles has done some good work in his past but this bizarre, confusing, silly dud is not one of them. The script feels like someone gave a party for wannabe writers, told them each to submit a plot for a far out film, then mixed them all together and came up with a hash that in the end is merely a re-do of the bad guy turned good guy on the run - with diversions.

Lucky (Wesley Snipes) is released from prison with the plan of going straight. Of course his buddy covets his reputation and ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - It Was Alright-
This movie reminded me of Pulp Ficition, especially the part when Lucky is captured by Cybil Shepards' character and nearly tortured. My boyfriend enjoyed this movie and I think it's because Lucky held a Puerto Rican stripper hostage throughout the entire movie. Go figure.
