...Cradle 2 The Grave

What do you get when you combine the cast of "Romeo Must Die" with the cast of "Exit Wounds"? A fast-paced action thriller with some humor. With fans asking for some mindless fun, Producer Joel Silver has given us Cradle 2 the Grave, which stars DMX, Jet Li, Anthony Anderson, and Tom Arnold. Joining these guys in the film are Gabrielle Union and Mark Dacascos. Sit back, watch, and enjoy the film. You won't be disappointed.

Till next time,
the blackfilm.com crew
