Let's whip up a little cinema souffle. Mix generous portions of mindless violence, ridiculous science, and cardboard characters. Add you've-seen-it-all-before gung fu fights and a you've-heard-it-all-before hip-hop sound track. Serve lukewarm at best. Slight kudos to Anthony Anderson and Tom Arnold for providing some light-hearted yucks--especially the self-deprecating chit-chat over the end credits. But the rest of this derivative mess is stupefying. Bottom line: "Cradle 2 the Grave" is one of the most annoyingly unnecessary films of 2003.
