Pros Uproarious comedic delivery and breath-taking scenes of the Miami setting
Cons Some gimmicky camerawork and stomach-turning violence
Recommended it? Yes

"All About the Benjamins" is the kind of film which can best be described as eclectic.

All About the Benjamins [VHS]

Ice Cube and Mike Epps are the driving force of this high style, high impact, action/comedy. One's a top dog bounty hunter, the other a two-bit hustler. Add to the mix a botched diamond heist, a lost sinning lottery ticket, and one thing becomes clear...that it's All About the Benjamins.
