LL Cool J) who is responsible for 80% of the city's drug trade. But the deeper Coles involves himself in his new extended "family," the harder it becomes for him to decipher where his loyalties lie. In the process, he alienates himself from his superiors, his fellow officers, and even his girlfriend (
Nia Long).The film is based on the true story of an officer of the Boston Housing Authority and Drug Enforcement Administration who went undercover to apprehend a major drug lord.
Canadian Connection: Filmed in Toronto.
This film is just a small story in the hectic life of a rookie housing cop turned full time undercover cop, turned gangster, turned cop again. The fact that this film is based on a real-life person makes it hard to judge. Only a select few know the true story behind the man and i`m one of them. the real story is about my Step-Father who joined in on the oppritunity to better our community. The names and locations have been changed to protect the innocent. From my point of view, the film left alot out and substituted alot in.
is the best movie i ever seen
