REVIEW
A poorly written urban crime drama that would work better as a sketch in Hollywood Shuffle, Caught Up stars Woodbine as an ex-con trying to go straight. Shortly after his release from prison, he meets Trish (a mediocre Williams), a psychic being chased by an evil Rastafarian (don't ask). Instead of staying the hell away from her (she's beautiful, you see) and trying to connect with his former squeeze, he agrees to help her. Every stereotype and cliché is here, not to mention howlingly bad dialogue ("Nobody was waiting for me but a dude named destiny") and cameos from yesterday's heroes (Dogg, Cool J).
