Butch Stein (Mickey Rourke) is out of prison and back on the streets of Brooklyn, N.Y. A lifelong junkie, Butch quickly falls back into his old ways with best friend Lester (John Enos III). Then Butch steals from a local drug pusher, Tank (Tupac Shakur), who decides to settle an old score by sending one of his toughest soldiers after Butch. But Tank soon discovers that Butch is going to put up a fight -- with the help of his brothers, Louis (Ted Levine) and Ruby (Adrien Brody).

A compelling low-life Mickey Rourke outing.

While some might call it "gritty," the film never goes below the surface.

Underrated movie with a good cast, cinematography and music.

This was not a great movie. I am not sure it is a good movie. However, I was entertained. There were some aspects I really liked about this movie but unfortunately there were some major flaws I have with it as well. Pros: Mickey Rourke is great in this movie as this character. I liked hating his character to slowly peeling back the layers and finding his redeeming qualities. I also liked his brother's character played by Ted Levine. I really like the dynamics of the brother characters in this movie. Cons: I think Tupac was a great actor and I think he was okay in this movie. I just don't think he had much to work with. His character is not very compelling and is pretty much a throwaway villain despite the way the movie was marketed. (if you are thinking this is a Tupac heavy movie you will be disappointed). I really liked the arc of Rourke's character however, I think they could have done a better job of explaining what made reach this redeeming arc at the end of the movie. Lastly the ending, while somewhat enjoyable, I found it to be a bit cheap and wish it would have been done another way.
