Like a bad Jamaican attempt at Scarface.


There's the obvious similarities, poor carribean immigrants causing a crime wave in Florida, getting big mansions, pushing out the existing guy, even the big attack on the mansion with the executioner dude with a shotgun. Problem here was this lacked a progressing plot, it was a series of things happening to make Jamaicans look like these super badasses then ends out of the blue. I can't help but think alot of effort wasn't put into the film other than how to make Jamaicans look alot more important in the criminal world than they really are.They're the guns for hire, not the Pablo Escobars.
