This could very well be the worst movie I've ever seen. Everything about it just screams AMATEURS. Seriously, I'm not kidding when I say that me and my friends could probably get together over the course of a couple of weekends and make a better, more intelligent movie than this.
The characters are completely flat, and if they weren't flat (which they are), I still don't think the "actors" (like Bob Marley's son or Wyclef Jean) would have the acting chops to portray them as anything interesting.
The movie is filled with horrendous inconsistencies. Bob Marley's son (Biggs) will be speaking American English and then suddenly he'll be speaking Jamaican English and go back and forth, like he totally forgot he was supposed to be in character. There's a montage scene early on where they show the guys taking over territory in Miami, and one of the scenes shows Biggs and Wayne getting pulled over and arrested, but the movie just hums along like that never happened (What the hell??). There's a scene at the end where "Mad Max" shoots the final intruder who's trying to kill Biggs, and you see the guy getting shot at least twice, including one in the chest. But 2 seconds later, you see the guy get up and run away and the gunshot wound to the chest has magically disappeared. hahahahahah It would be funny if it weren't so freaking pathetic. The head bodyguard for Bruck Shot Teddy who goes to Biggs's house at the end carries a shotgun that fires like a BB gun, and as soon as he kills Biggs's girl (who proceeds to spit watered-down ketchup out of her mouth as a sign that she's dead), he leaves. I guess he forgot he was supposed to kill Biggs. Or maybe he realized that his BB-gun-pellet-shooting shotgun was very weak so he decided to bolt.
I could go on and on. The movie is flat out awful. It makes attempts at the end to try to create some kind of emotional story of two life long brothers and their journey, but it fails miserably and is just laughable in its attempt. This is a movie made and written by a bunch of AMATEURS.
Do yourself a favor and avoid this movie, unless you appreciate some good old fashioned unintentional comedy and you're looking for a good laugh, then I might recommend it. Maybe.
