Cradle 2 the Grave

The creative team behind Romeo Must Die and Exit Wounds – namely director Andrzej Bartkowiak and star DMX – return for this crime thriller, and despite the fact that Exit Wounds co-star Steven Seagal is nowhere to be found, the air of silliness he projects still lingers. The unintentionally comedic lowlight? When Hong Kong action star Jet Li, also a veteran of Romeo Must Die, appears in a cage match and uses the Mini Me-sized referee as a weapon.
