Two Bronx hustlers, Ant (Cam'ron) and Carter (Omar Gooding) are in the middle of a major deal, when suddenly the authorities raid the club. Both make their escape and are advised to lie low, so it's off to Miami to stay with Carter's cousin. However, lying low is not a possibility when the temptation to make fast money takes hold again.
That's about as exciting as it gets, folks. Percentage is a truly dire experience. The laziness that runs throughout this shoddy caper is inexcusable, covering everything from it's terrible camera work, dull locations (how can you make Miami look dull?), poor direction and woeful acting.
The cast list reads well, but everyone looks like they'd rather be somewhere else. Cam'ron leads with a fantastically uncharismatic display (the white b*tches scene is toe curlingly cretinous), Macy Gray gives a rambling, shaky version of her usual shtick and Ving Rhames delivers the most absurd turn you'll ever (not) want to see him in.
As for the plot, it's both nonsensical and boring, I mean really boring. Even the action sequences, what little there are of them, are totally inept. There also seems to be huge chunks missing from key points (and meaningless ones) in the movie. Add in the badly handled editing and you'll neither fully know nor care what's going on by the end.
Unquestionably one to avoid, this is one Percentage that you'll regret taking a cut of.
