I've seen a couple, including this one. This is the most entertaining one IMO, by far. To be frank, it's just a little funny to see people be this mean to each other LOL. I'm mostly referring to Charles S. Dutton in his scene with Ice-T just as Dutton kicks off the you-know-what. Of course, Ernest Dickerson did a good job making sure the film was well shot. It's an early film of Dickerson's, so I can see how his directorial chops weren't as strong as can be. I enjoyed the usage of Miles Davis' "Blue in Green" when Ice's character gets a bath.
The thing about Ice's acting is he's really good when he's being intense, and he's also good when he's expressing subtle pathos (which this character is justifiably full of). So I can't really say Ice is a "one note actor." He just seems to come off like his full range could be stronger overall... I mean even in the "Law and Order" shows, he pretty much seems to stay in one zone as a thespian... feel free to correct me if you've seen more from him than that... much respect, Ice...... I rate this flick a solid 6/10.

Maybe... was impressed that a song from Kind of Blue came up in this type of movie. It's either that or the one I mentioned. Thanks again as always, cuz ya know we're none of us perfect.

Thanks... I knew all of that; perhaps I didn't make myself perfectly lucid in that other post.
As I still believe, none of us is perfect.

I wasn't criticizing you in either of my posts. I'm sorry if you got that impression. I was trying to help, but obviously, I failed.

Ha, yeah, that's a good horror film for sure.
Oh, I agree with the last sentence. IIRC, Cube got nominated for an Oscar back in the nineties, so of course there might be argument back and forth about his skills as a thespian.
