This film essentially begins with a drug dealer by the name of "Jerrell" (Andra Fuller) having $1 million worth of drugs stolen from him by several armed women. Needless to say, the one person who survived the shootout named "Titus" (Malik Barnhardt) is not too keen on telling Jerrell this bad news--especially since Jerrell has brought his main enforcer "Saleem" (Jeremy Meeks) to the meeting with him. However, his life is spared when he recounts that one of the women seemed to have a connection to his dead rival "Quadir Richards" (Columbus Short). Knowing this, Jerrell immediately concludes that either Quadir's former right-hand man "Rasun" (Jamaar Simon) or his former fiancé "Gena Rollins" (Erica Peeples) has some inside knowledge of what transpired. And after killing Rasun, he becomes even more obsessed with tracking down Gena at all costs. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that--as is often the case with sequels--this film wasn't quite as good as its predecessor. Even so, I still found it to be rather entertaining due in large part to the excellent performance by Andra Fuller and to a lesser extent that of both Erica Peeples and Vivaca A. Fox (as "Shoog"). That being said, while certainly not a great crime-drama by any means, I found it well worth the time spent and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.
