Maverick cop Orin Boyd always brings down the domestic terrorists he tracks, but he ruffles feathers with his unorthodox techniques -- and soon finds himself reassigned to the toughest district in Detroit. When he discovers a group of detectives secretly operating a drug ring, Boyd joins forces with an unlikely ally -- gangster Latrell Walker -- to bring down the rotten cops.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
DMX recorded multiple tracks for the soundtrack and allegedly improvised several scenes. Director Bartkowiak later called him 'unpredictable electricity.'
This was part of a brief 2000-2002 wave pairing rappers with action stars — Exit Wounds, Cradle 2 the Grave, Romeo Must Die — before the trend collapsed under its own absurdity.
