**Spoilers Ahead:**
What a disappointment! I never thought that it would be possible to make a boring film, starring Boris Kodjoe and Kenya Moore. How could they possibly go wrong with those 2 as the leads? I wasn't expecting this to be Academy Award material. I knew this would be a B-movie. I just wasn't expecting it to be dry and lacking in suspense. All the actors were wasted, and that's a shame. Billy Zane, Bai Ling, and Boris Kodjoe are such good actors.
The plot made no sense, whatsoever. Why would you willing go to jail for something you didn't do? There were also so many things that were unintentionally funny.
This movie is the ghetto version of "The Hand that Rocks the Cradle," or at least it's trying to be.
If you want a guilty pleasure, sexy story, then pass on this. If you
want something to help you fall asleep, then rent it.
