Cradle 2 the Grave

Jet Li, DMX, Mark Dacascos, Kelly Hu, Anthony Anderson

The intriguing cross-pollination of rap and kung-fu continues with Cradle 2 the Grave, co-starring high-profile rapper DMX and Hong Kong superstar Jet Li. Master thief Fait (DMX) hits a diamo...( read more  read more... )nd exhange but comes away with a bag of black gems of mysterious origin. When a crime kingpin steals the gems from Fait, an international arms dealer kidnaps Fait's beloved daughter--and Fait can only get her back with the help of Su (Li), a Taiwanese intelligence agent tracking the gems himself. A summary of the plot doesn't do Cradle 2 the Grave justice; while the basic story elements suggest a dozen generic action flicks, the cast (including Anthony Anderson, Gabrielle Union, and Kelly Hu) has genuine charisma and the movie layers action on top of action to strong effect. All in all, a much more engaging thrill ride than you'd expect. --Bret Fetzer

    This movie is like Rush Hour without the comedy. Good action movie. Jet is a cop from Taiwan who has come to the US to retrieve black diamonds that were stolen from Taiwan. DMX is a thief who robs the diamonds from the baddy, who then kidnaps his daughter. Jet and DMX have to wor...( read more)k together to get back what they both want.

    seen it a few times over the years. most recently being just now. as it already says here most of the actors/actresses have houses of on screen charisma. now i hate rap generally... and this is coming from me... i'm going to say it... i think the soundtrack to this film was good!...( read more)! jet li does his on screen shenanigans... dancing around on the edges of high rise buildings. balcony theatre! meanwhile his dawg... dmx has some ass kicking action sequences too. mark dacasos plays a bit of a cheesy baddie but little does it matter when he's got kelly hu as his sidekick... and that's not mentioning gabrielle union doing a striptease and shaking her booty! i liked the fast paced high intensity action with the easy to follow story. this is what martial arts movies should be like!

    Lame story, but who cares, we get to see Jet Li fight and that's the only reason you would watch this.
