No pun intended - who owns you? Or the main character that is ... well he owes us more than he gives us for sure! Beanie Seagal is an excellent rapper/musician, but I would argue he isn't the best actor. That being said, it is not just him who falls flat here. There are a lot of people in this, who almost litereally play themselves (sorry for the pun) and yet still are unable to convince.
Making great music (though you may disagree with that too) and making good movies or giving good performances do not go hand in hand. I skipped this back in the day when it came out ... and it was a good decision.
A lot of nudity, which surprised me a little bit, but I reckon it was to be expected. I was not offended or anything and I am just mentioning it for those who care, one way or the other.
Plot summary
A Philadelphia gang member becomes a drug kingpin and starts a feud with vicious rivals in his quest for the American Dream.

Acting isn't for Everybody
This isn't the worse I've ever seen in my life but it definitely had some flaws. None of the characters in the movie were interesting. The movie was mostly focused on the gangster part that they forgot to everything else. For example, they to show Beanie Sigel at his Daughter's birthday party one scene for like 10 seconds to show that he's a family man. He's not a family man he's a serial killer lol. Maybe with better acting and a better story they could've pulled it off with everyone being gangster but no all of the characters were garbage.
Another problem with this movie, no one had an personality everyone was just random drug dealers and killers. If anyone wants to know why acting isn't for every rapper/singer in the world, take this movie for an example cause man, none of these people can act to save their life.
Let's see ... a wannabe gangsta movie
Thankfully i had subtitles to understand what the dialogue that was mixed with the 'n' word and a sufficient amount of profanity. Both were very distracting. The wannabe gangsta Bean (aka Beanie Sigel) wants to take over the city of brotherly love Philadelphia. Anybody that gets in the way is wasted (i.e., killed). This happens numerous times with no threat from law enforcement. They are apparently paid off. Atd least 'Scarface' had a story you could follow and 'Goodfellas' gave you the story of Henry Hill. This one gve you nothing to work with. I lasted about 25 minutes then i said, "goodbye". I'm amazed i lasted that long.
