Keenen Ivory Wayans is pretty successful when he's spoofing the urban crime/action flicks, but when he's playing it more seriously, that's another story. This movie is awful from beginning to end. It's a sorry retread of every other movie of this genre you've seen plus Wayans' humor fails him as well. If you enjoyed his sniggering portrayal of homosexuals on 'In Living Colour' you'll be pleased to see more of the same here. Of course, just about everyone in this film is a stereotype or caricature as well. Some of the actors, like Charles S. Dutton, almost rise above the muck, but it's impossible to look too good with this material. I felt sorry for Jada Pinkett, stuck in an especially dumb role. In my opinion, 'A Low Down Dirty Shame' is particularly well-named.
