Synopsis

Mikey and Rose are professional assassins. They are also lovers, and once upon a time Rose also knew Mikey’s father. During an elaborate hit job for a malicious gangster, Rose fails to kill the main target, the gangster’s pregnant girlfriend. Instead, she delivers her baby and convinces Mikey to help her protect them both. As Rose weakens from cancer, Mikey becomes breadwinner for this unusual family. But tranquility will not last. –IMDb

How was Lee Daniels ever allowed to direct again after Shadowboxer? Riddle me that batman. I sat through this drivel solely for 1 scene: when Monique catches Joseph Gordon-Levitt serving cunnilingus to another black chick who then goes all hoodrat in the situation. Still--this film was hot garbawwge.

Have you ever watched a movie and every 5 min. you tell yourself "I hate this movie" but for some reason you keep watching til the last frame then you wonder, as Macy Gray's character does in this one, if someone slipped you the date rape drug but no, Cuba Gooding's Mikey explains, "you're dying," and then you realize a tiny part of your soul has died along with an even larger part of your brain? Send help. Please.
