Can you translate this from Dutch to English: Het begon even als een actiefilm, maar daarna gaat het terug in de tijd naar de jonge hoofdrolspelers.Het begin heeft BRANDON HAMMOND (van SOUL FOOD de film) en PERCY DAGGS III (van VERONICA MARS) en 2 andere onbekenden die allemaal vrij goed zijn.En JA, ik geniet van de eerste 30 minuten waarin de personages nog tieners zijn, ook al lijkt het een beetje vergezocht hoe weinig tijd de jongens nodig hebben om de concurrentie uit te schakelen (ik bederf niets dit is 20 minuten in de film of zo).Hoe dan ook, na 30 minuten zijn de jongens ongeveer 30 jaar oud of zo en ze dragen pakken en al die zakelijke kleding.

It started off like an action movie for a minute, then it goes back into time to the lead-characters youths.The beginning has got BRANDON HAMMOND (from SOUL FOOD the movie) and PERCY DAGGS III (from VERONICA MARS) and 2 other unknowns which are all pretty good.And YES I do enjoy the first 30 minutes where the characters are in their teens, even though it seems a little far-fetched how short time it takes for the boys to start killing the competition (I am not spoiling anything this is 20 minutes into the movie or something).Anyways after 30 minutes the guys are around 30 years old or something and wearing suits and all that business-like styled persona.And it just turns into this snooze-fest where there's hardly anything happening except for a big number of dialogs exchanged about "The Game", and the crews various ideas of how to play it and the threat of investigating police.You are suppose to believe that all 4 friends are bosses of one gang each, but there are no gang-members shown in the movie which makes it even less convincing.Also the acting from the "old" cast is so much worse than the "young" cast, I especially didn't like ALLEN PAYNE's character, perhaps it was because he looked like he needed to do number 2 on the bathroom half or all the time through-out the movie.I thought WILLIAM L JOHNSON playing old E.BONE was the only reason to keep watching, well that and I did pay money for the DVD so I had to continue for it to end at least.The first 30 minutes was reminiscent of BOYZ N THE HOOD (which of course is a good movie) but the rest 90 minutes was reminiscent of SUGAR HILL (Wesley Snipes) almost a copy of that movie actually but with a lot more twists and stuff.If you happened to like SUGAR HILL then you might like it, but I don't like neither.If you want a Hood-Movie there are plenty of better ones, such as: SNIPES, HUSTLE & FLOW, CLOCKERS, GET RICH OR DIE Trying, BABY BOY... the list could be long but I will stop there.3.5 out of 10
