Cradle 2 the Grave (2003)

Cradle 2 the Grave (2003) (MM SUB) is a high-octane action film that teams up Jet Li with rapper-actor DMX in a flashy blend of martial arts, hip-hop swagger, and heist thriller energy. Directed by Andrzej Bartkowiak, the story follows a jewel thief (DMX) whose daughter is kidnapped, forcing him to team up with a Taiwanese intelligence agent (Jet Li) to take down a black-market arms dealer. The film delivers fast-paced action, slick fight scenes, and over-the-top stunts. Jet Li’s martial arts skill contrasts well with DMX’s street-tough attitude, though the plot takes a backseat to spectacle. Verdict: A fun, explosive ride with cool fight scenes and an early-2000s vibe—light on story, heavy on action.
