Synopsis:

A former drug lord returns from prison determined to wipe out all his competition and distribute the profits of his operations to New York's poor and lower classes in this stylish and ultra violent modern twist on Robin Hood.

Brian's Rating: B- : 18 years ago when this movie was released I am sure it shocked the world.  There are many innovative film techniques for the time, and some brutal, in-your-face, violence ala New Jack City.  What it lacks is an engaging storyline.  The concept of a Drug Lord as the central character is cool (American Gangster) however it was very difficult to discern a story arc.  The movie had some scenes that were amazing, but at the same time it was a struggle to watch the whole film from beginning to end.

It was worth seeing, but I doubt I will ever watch it again.
