177 - Cradle 2 the Grave

We'll be honest. We were trying to watch Exit Wounds, the Andrzej Bartkowiak directed movie starring DMX, Anthony Anderson, Tom Arnold, and Steven Seagal. Somehow we mixed it up with Cradle 2 the Grave, directed by Andrzej Bartkowiak starring DMX, Anthony Anderson, Tom Arnold, and JET LI. We're considering it an upgrade. Anthony Fait (DMX) is a friendly jewel thief who steals from rich jerks and doesn't use guns. With his crew Daria (Gabrielle Union), Tommy (Anderson), and Odion (Michael Jace), they break in somewhere and steal some mysterious black diamonds. Su (Li) calls Anthony and wants those stones. X won't give it to him (what?) he won't give it to him. So Su beats up Odion in a subway. Weirdly, Su turns out to be a good guy, because he's trying to protect the stones from the evil Ling (Marc Dacascos), who steals Anthony's daughter, which requires an MMA cage fight, backroom striptease, ATV street chase, and tank attack to get her and the stones back.
