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.

Extremely dumb, but <em>'Cradle 2 the Grave'</em> actually did entertain me. The humour and cast are the strongest parts to this film, it made me laugh a couple of times to be fair.
