Rapper-turned-actor DMX is chilling in this intense account of the life and death of a violent drug kingpin. Flashbacks chronicle the life of King David (DMX), who turns out to be more like Goliath when he is knifed by a gangster's young henchman (Michael Ealy). David Arquette costars as an aspiring writer, who inherits audiotapes that detail all of King David's nasty business dealings. Clifton Powell.
