49. Cradle 2 the Grave

Release Year: 2003

Written by John O’Brien and Channing Gibson

Directed by Andrzej Bartkowiak

Starring Jet Li, DMX, Anthony Anderson, Kelly Hu, Tom Arnold, Mark Dacascos, and Gabrielle Union

In the film, Anthony Fain (DMX) and his group of jewel thieves steal some very rare black diamonds for someone important. Su (Jet Li), a Taiwanese agent, tracks them down and tries to get the diamonds back, but he’s unsuccessful. Shortly after, Ling (Mark Dacascos), the criminal who Anthony was stealing the diamonds for, kidnaps Anthony’s daughter to make sure he gets all the diamonds. Su and Anthony join forces to get Anthony’s daughter back.

Cradle 2 the Grave is all about that action, if you know what I mean! The acting performances and story isn’t that great. But, pound for pound, Cradle 2 the Grave stands up to pretty much any other movie in the ranking! That’s probably just my opinion, though.

With that said, who doesn’t love DMX one-liners? Who doesn’t love four-wheeler chase scenes? It’s all awesome!
