High on action, low on grey matter. I guess when push comes to shove it’s an action film that delivers the requisite supply of biff, bam and kerpow action sequences. Yet even allowing for the old “leave the brain at the door” requirement for such action comic malarkey, the script is too poor, the acting equally so, while the choreography is weak.

Born 2 the life. True 2 the code. Bad 2 the bone.
Gang leader Tony pulls off a major diamond heist with his crew, but cop-turned-criminal Ling knows who has the loot and responds by kidnapping Tony's daughter and holding her for ransom. Unfortunately, Tony's lost the diamonds as well. As he frantically searches for his daughter and the jewels, Tony pairs with a high-kicking government agent who once worked with Ling and seeks revenge on him.

The main ones I'll remember are in fact two bit part roles in Anthony Anderson (Tommy) and Tom Arnold…
Cradle 2 the Grave is one of those action thrillers that thinks stealing is a morally superior, victimless crime — if by “victims” we understand “casualties” — as long as you steal from criminals.
