Movie Review: Cradle 2 The Grave
A thief and a lawman join forces to hunt down a common enemy in this
action thriller. Tony Fait (DMX) is a master thief who, along with his crew
(Gabrielle Union, Anthony Anderson and Drag On), pulls off a major score
when they steal a cache of highly valuable black diamonds. However, the
hard-as-nails Tony has a soft spot for his young daughter Vanessa (Paige
Hurd) and Ling (Mark Dacascos), a former detective turned ruthless
criminal, kidnaps Vanessa, demanding a ransom from Tony for her return - the stash
of black diamonds.
The jewels have already been stolen, however, from Tony's fence Archie (Tom Arnold) and are now in the hands of a powerful underworld boss (Chi McBride). Determined to get back his daughter at whatever the cost, Tony and his gang set out to find both Ling and the diamonds. However he soon gets some invaluable help from an unlikely corner - Su (Jet Li), a government agent from Taiwan who was once Ling's partner, and has an old score to settle with him. Review: Another good action film starring another hip hop supa-star. You've heard his hits, now see DMX act it up on the big screen. Not bad at all. Reviewer: Zaida
