I was eager to see Cheadle, Snipes, Gere and Hawke altogether in a movie but actually they just happened to be in the same movie. Cheadle was great as usual (although his "undercover" thing is on verge of being a type-cast), Snipes was an aged, warmed-over Nino Brown, Hawke looked and played horrible and Gere was out of his element as his role/character in this movie was wholly unappealing and not credible. Overall, the movie was over-the-top graphic and the religious symbols throughout were unnecesarrily distracting and confusingly disconnected to the context of their placement...we were very disappointed and wished we had waited to rent it...
