the gore and comedy we've come to expect from the series. It did look like the cheapest of the series to me and some of the jokes fall flat but overall the gore and goofyness wins.

Director: Tyler MacIntyre | Stars: Brianna Hildebrand, Alexandra Shipp, Jack Quaid, Kevin Durand
Votes: 11,613 | Gross: $0.06M
maybe a little too self indulgent (hypocritcal?) i kind of found the banter between the two leads to become tiresome. Maybe destined to be a cult classic for young women. The story was still fun and interesting.

Director: Damon Dash | Stars: Damon Dash, Cam'ron, Murda Mook, Nicholas Turturro
Votes: 313
your basic turf war/rise to power urban gangster story. The naration kind of makes it feel like "hustlin for dummys" but the movie is still alright if you're into low budget street gang movies like killa season and state property.
