A total piece of crap - can't believe this thing gets made today

I think this piece of crap pretty much ranks down there as the worst film in the history of cinema. Can't believe they had Sharon Stone and Val Kilmer participate in this for a paycheck. I guess they needed the money. Val Kilmer acting opposite a gangster rapper now there's a washed up actor!

The so-called "director" is worse than a 1st yr NYU student at film-making. How do these people get the financing and get to "direct" movies just blows my mind... It's shot with this totally wanking documentary style which looks cheap and I find really distracting. Millennium Films sucks gas.
