    Paul Campbell..Great Actor
    I saw this movie about 12 yrs ago when i used to live in Guyana...It was a big hit down there when it was first launched..The movie contains some of the best reggae music such as the original Joyride Riddim and old school Beenie Man reggae hits... The story line is great which contains some original Caribbean/Westindian acting.Too badd they never made a follow up movie during that era.I have to give Paul Campbell 2 thumbs up for his great performance.I remember meeting him by my neighbours house and he was asking my wife to babysit his kids while he was visiting his family..Great guy and great movie.Best wishes to him and his acting career.Hope to see more of him in Hollywood.
