6/10
This whole drug %$%$, it's not a black thing, it's not a white thing. It's a death thing. Death don't give a %$%$ about color.

Nino Brown (Snipes) runs the CMB (Cash Money Bros) gang, and after taking the advice of his friend/collaborator Gee Money, decides to go into the business of selling crack (cocaine) to the people of his city. The CMB takes over an entire apartment bldg called the Carter and sets it up as their base of operations, complete with a security team and lookouts on the roof to watch out for police. Within a couple of years, Nino has (in his own words) control of the city,, and has become almost untouchable while the people suffer,,,

Scotty Appleton (IceT) and Nick Peretti (Nelson) are both cops that no one wants to work with, and the obvious "expendable" choices for a team selected to take the CMB down. Only problem is that they have to get someone on the inside of CMB operations in order to get any evidence against them that will hold up in court.

How will they infiltrate such a well put together operation?

This movie practically screams the early 1990s. The music, the fashion, etc. (Hard to believe it came out 30 yrs ago, lol) It's a definite 6.5 rating, if not more.
