Wow…when was this movie gonna end? Actually I look forward to reviews like this. They're very brief. : ) First things first and out of the way, I like John Leguizamo, always have, always will. I feel he's a very talented actor. And next right to the blunt…this movie was horrible. Sorry, but I feel Franc Reyes failed miserably in his first attempt in the Director/Writer role (I never saw him in 1984's "Beat Street", so I cannot comment on his acting (or dancing) abilities). I just didn't get it. The movie was pointless and predictable, and I hoped in vein that it might get better. But of course it did not. But I have to admit I was happy to see the demise of Denise Richard's character. (Side note: has she ever been in a movie where her character hasn't died? : ) And finally, all I got out of this movie was Mr. Mackey's (from South Park) voice ringing in my head "Umm Drugs are bhad, okay?". That's it… end of story. I don't even want to talk about this film anymore. It would truly be a waste of both yours and my time. So…
