Editorial Review:
DMX (Cradle 2 the Grave, Exit Wounds) will blow you away as King David, a cunning and charismatic leader of the streets who returns to his home turf seeking redemption... but finds only brutal retribution. Co-starring David Arquette (Scream 1, 2 & 3) as an aspiring reporter, seduced by a culture of drugs and violence, NEVER DIE ALONE is a ?gritty, intense and unforgettable urban tale? (Wireless Magazine) of ruthless gangsters and cold-blooded revenge.

Description of Never Die Alone:
There's nothing like a violent, foul-mouthed, drug-laden, misogynistic, post-adolescent gangsta fantasy to teach you (heh heh) that crime doesn't pay. Whassup with Never Die Alone, bro? Here's a pulp-driven movie that wants it both ways, glorifying virtually every negative black-male stereotype in the book (illiterates with absentee parents, gold-toothed pimps, hooded gangstas, bling-bling drug dealers, thugs, and assorted hip-hop wannabes) while presenting a gritty neo-noir crime story of an ill-fated heroin dealer and woman-hater (rapper-turned-bad-actor DMX) who seeks redemption but has too much bad karma to survive. Based on the influential 1974 novel by Donald Goines and directed with plenty of dark-city style by Ernest R. Dickerson, this hard-hitting but woefully trashy crime thriller is rather ambitious in its narrative structure, weaving past and present in telling a doomed man's tale. David Arquette brings urgent desperation to his role as a seedy writer whose inner-city research turns into a violent nightmare, and Michael Ealy is equally good as a vengeful gangsta with blood ties to DMX's character. But what's the real lesson here? In a movie with no moral compass, it's no wonder everyone's spinning off in all the wrong directions. --Jeff Shannon

Never Die Alone Reviews:
Harsh Reality
2006-08-19 - Movie started out cheesy with jewish writer trying to get "real" by living in slums and getting close to black culture. Other than the poorly acted writer role, the rest of the movie is similar to what happens in ghettos all over America. Very good, if you are interested in social work, psychology. Dont bother to scare your kids with this one; in fact, it would probably encourage them.

Just Ok
2006-07-25 - the movie really did not have a complete story line....the acting was ok, I was expecting more.

Lesson to be learned!
2006-02-18 - DMX was excellent in this movie and I think all young ladies between the age of 13 to 25 yrs. of age should see this movie. Even though it is just a movie - it can and does happen to our young women everyday - they are exploited and introduced to drugs and worse by someone whom they love and trust...

Quote for Never Die Alone
2005-10-22 - Theres ups and downs in this movie. To me mostly downs.
When I first seen it in theaters i loved it. So when I
got the DVD ,iloved it.3 months pass i get sick of it.
For 3 reasons First The picture looked blury even on DVD.
Second iz the actin iz the same. Third just lookin at
DMX abusing 3 women by getting them addicted to coke and heroin.
And him abusing his own son, what is wrong with that man.
I think this movie make X alot Crazyer.I wouldn't reccommend
this movie for relegous people, HELL NO!!!! If you worship
the devil andU want to die,And like looking at people being killed ,then it's strongly reccommended 4 U.

The story of king david
2005-03-03 - I didn't hear much about this movie, but just recently I saw this movie on cinamax to see pretty much see propably DMX's last performance.

Altho I didn't like his characters in hollywod action blockbusters Exit Wounds, and Cradle 2 the grave, because they were bad, one selling drugs the other a thief, but tried to make them good, it was just plain out stupid.

But in this film, you get to see the reason why DMX would be considered to be called Dark-man-X because in this movie he plays one baaaaad dude, and his performance was unbalievable. DMX gets a serious role, and just exceeded my exectations.

Also nice performances by Michael Ealy as a man filled with nothing but revenge and sorrow, David Arquet, the man who uncoverd David's past via his documentery, and Cliftion Powel, the man King David owes.

This movie is dark, gritty, and a movie that shouldn't be slept on, especially by fans of X. Anyone who is tired of all these fake hood movies like state property or Hot Boyz should definitly take a look at this gritty film.
