Scenes Of The Crime
He thought he was ready for anything. He was wrong.
When a routine delivery goes terribly wrong, young mob wheelman Lenny Burroughs finds himself holding Jimmy Berg -one of LA's top crime lords- hostage in a van on a busy downtown street. Surrounded by Jimmy's bodyguards who are led by the ruthless Seth, Lenny soon discovers he's secretly been working for rival mob boss Trevor Morrison, who's got a $7 million score to settle with Jimmy. Taking orders from Trevor over the phone, and negotiating in the van with the smooth-talking Jimmy, Lenny realizes he's exactly where he doesn't want to be --right in the middle of a feud with two of the city's most ruthless and powerful gangsters.

... not the greatest and Morris Chestnut is only on the cover to get people to rent the video ... b/c his part in this movie was all but 10 mins. ... and why does a brother always have to be with the white woman ... i am just saying, do not take it personal ... I like how Jeff Bridges played his role, it was interesting and he made me watch ... I still love me some Morris Chestnut though, ;-)Nothing More Than Just OK. - Jeefster
Nothing great here, that's probably why I'd never heard of it before.
It's a little short on plot and doesn't really come across as very tension-building even though that is supposed to be the premise of the whole movie. I always find that at best Jeff Bridges is very wooden in his acting abilities, and other actors as well in this film don't deliver their best performances either.
This is supposed to be based on a true story but the final writeup at the end of the film leaves me filled with even more doubt about the credibility of it's statement. The only part that was cool was the shooter at the end who comes in as a bit of a surprise.
All in all it's not terrible, just nothing here to really make you want to ever own this, though it was an OK rental and I've definitely rented worse...
