Movie Info

A former gang member discovers that escaping the past isn't as easy as getting a new job and leaving the old neighborhood behind in this thriller starring Cuba Gooding, Jr., Omari Hardwick, and Chris Browning. Michael Dixon (Gooding, Jr.) used to be a hardcore Los Angeles gang-banger, but these days he wears a badge rather than sporting colors. A respected U.S. border patrol officer in New Mexico, Dixon has somehow managed the rare feat of leaving the thug life behind and starting a family. But Dixon's psychotic former gang leader Drake (Hardwick) is none to happy at having lost one of his best men, and when a chance encounter leads him right to Dixon's door the stage is set for an explosive confrontation. Now, in order to protect his family, Dixon will be forced to put down his badge, and once again operate outside of the law. Walking Tall director Kevin Bray takes the helm for a revenge thriller also featuring Evan Ross and Sharon Leal.

I can see why this movie when straight to DVD. It had some tense moments and some good shooting scenes but was otherwise lacking.

Finally a movie that Cuba Gooding Jr. was in that I actually enjoyed.I liked the storyline but since Cuba was in it I expected to hate it from the start.I was REALLY suprised that I enjoyed it from beginning to end

crime thriller set against backdrop of u.s/mexican border, gooding jr is a border patrol deep in with a gang to pull of a crime before a fight for his life against them

Totally boring and tedious. This movie is not adrenaline-filling, not twisted with a complex plot, action scenes don't even give the satisfaction to watch, and the characters are not that interesting to care about. It's just watchable enough if you're already bored and have nothing else to do.
