Cradle 2 the Grave (2003)

The flick has great action scenes
but that’s just about it. In this 2003 action film, starring Jet Li and rapper
DMX, an intelligence officer must join forces with a thief so they can retrieve
some diamonds all while saving the thief’s daughter and saving the world from a
lunatic who plans to sell the diamonds that have the power to be used as
weapons.

Cradle 2 the Grave offers a
few good jokes, great action scenes and a few other things that can remind you
of the classic exploitation features from the 1960s and 1970s. But the rest of
the movie is just plain ol’ bad. The acting in the picture is awful, the plot
is even worse, the music is terrible, the dialogue is even more terrible than
the plot and don’t even let me get started on the cinematography. Everything in
the flick is just poor the only good things are, like I said, the few jokes,
the action scenes and the few scenes that pay somewhat tribute to the
exploitation genre.
