| Cradle 2 The Grave (2003) Cast:Jet Li,DMX, Mark Dacascos,Kelly Hu,Athony Anderson,Tom Arnold Jet Li stars as a Taiwan cop who must join forces with a Jewel thief (DMX)who has gotten his hands on nuclear explosives disguised as diamonds, however the stakes are raised when the owner(Dacascos) wants the stones back, and resorts to kidnapping the theif's daughter. This is a definite guilty pleasure, everything about this movie is pretty bad, Jet Li gives one of the worst performances as the Taiwan cop and DMX isn't very impressive, and yet there are some good actionscenes and unintentional humor to raise Cradle's entertainment level to a watchable level. In addition to that, Jet Li takes on Mark Dacascos in a very impressive climax, however the movie's ridiculous plot as well as wooden acting from the cast stop Cradle dead in it's tracks, and I also saw people walk out of the theater. So one would be well advised to wait to video. D.Andrzei Bartkowak **12 |
