MARIO VAN PEEBLES ('Posse') stars in and makes his directorial debut with this explosive action-adventure, following in the footsteps of his father, legendary black filmmaker Melvin Van Peebles ('Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song'). A stylish urban tale of the rise and fall of a Scarface-like drug lord (WESLEY SNIPES 'Passenger 57,' 'Murder at 1600') and the two mismatched, maverick ex-cops (rap superstar ICE-T, 'Ricochet' -- in a brilliant acting debut -- and JUDD NELSON, 'Suddenly Susan') who infiltrate his organization in an attempt to bring his empire down. Co-starring TV action hero RUSSELL WONG ('Vanishing Son'), BILL NUNN ('Do the Right Thing') and 'Saturday Night Live' alumn CHRIS ROCK ('Lethal Weapon 4').
