This movie was alright. It was about Cuba and Helen were contract killers and they were lovers. Cuba was her stepson because his father used to be married to Helen. I thought Cuba and Helen's relationship was phony and disgusting because Helen is a very old woman LOL. She's not attractive either. Monique who played on The Parkers tv show was a crackhead in the movie hahahahahahahahahaha. Singer Macy Gray was also in this. Stephen Dorff who was the bad guy vampire in Blade movie with Wesley Snipes was also in this as a bad guy. There was one scene where Cuba and Helen had sex in a park and in another scene, Cuba danced and stripped for her in their bedroom. I thought the way he was dancing for her was funny. This movie came out at limited theatres not too long ago and it's directed by Mel Daniels who's black. Mel also directed Monster's Ball movie with Halle Berry and he directed The Woodsman with Kevin Bacon, Kyra Sedgewick, Eve, David Alan Grier, Mos Def.

Yeah Cuba has played in straight to video movies lately. I saw 2 of them called Dirty and End Game. Both of them are good movies. Dirty is about Cuba is a crooked cop and End Game is about Cuba is a secret service agent for the president. Cuba is a very good actor. He can play any type of character. He cracked me up in Radio movie with Ed Harris and Debra Winger because his character was ******** and he didn't talk much.
