**SPOILERS HEREIN**
Living in the city of circling Ghetto Birds (police choppers), i must say that this effort was enjoyable if not a bit over-the-top. 1stly, i found it stretching the limits of credulity that the street-smart Alonzo Harris would expose his protege to his grizzly side so much all in ONE day, and then expect him to fall in so quickly and unquestioningly. Duh.. "Okay, boss!!"
2ndly, in an apparent shot at the LAPD, featuring three high ranking members of the law enforcement community as crooked as Harris, not to mention his own morally challenged crew (Dr. Dre & the rest), got a little tired. Is Jake Hoyt the ONLY honest cop in LA? This flick would have you believe just that.
3rdly, WAAAAY too "Deus-ex-Machina" for an ending. Students of ancient Greek tragedies will understand... ;-)
Incidentally, GREAT cameos. Props especially to Cliff Curtis and Noel Gugliemi.. ORALE!!!
