Slate’s back in the saddle and ready to GIVE IT TO YA!

It’s time for EXIT WOUNDS, the second in a sort of spiritual mid-budget action trilogy from director Andrzej Bartkowiak. He in the span of four years churned out this, ROMEO MUST DIE (2000) and CRADLE 2 THE GRAVE (2003).

Unfortunatel, EXT WOUNDS is the only one of those three not to star Jet Li. Instead we get Steavan Seagal, who in a Hollywood comeback attempt delivers something that sort of resembles a performance. DMX is the real highlight, though, in his first headlining role.

We dive into the late rapper’s career and talk about the status of musician-turned-actors, as well as the ascension of rappers in movies throughout the early naughties, in the bonus-feature segment.
