TERRIBLE TERRIBLE FILM, so bad it deserved to be typed in capitals.
The acting (and I use the term in its loosest sense) was awful, the plot (what there was of one) was pathetic, and its hard to believe how predictable it was.
Sorry Earnest E. Dickinson, I think my grans 3 legged cat could do better.
Not as bad as Zombie Diaries though.
Its another one of those typical 'lets make the bad, drug dealing, murdering guy look like a good guy' kind of films. David Arquette, although not a good actor, is wasted in it. If I die and NEVER see this film again then I die a happy man.

DMX turns in a believable performance as King David a New York drug dealer who legs it to LA when he steals his bosses stash. Upon his return years later he is promptly offed by a two-bit thug. In his dying moments he bequeaths his entire legacy to investigative reporter David Arquette (who is great in his role too). Before the night is over Arquette pieces together his life and an awful past full of heinous crimes is unleashed, but it's not over yet and Arquette becomes marked for death by King David's still very angry boss.

In a mere 88 minutes Never Die Alone tells an intriguing story in non-chronological order and sets up a remarkable array of complexly interwoven characters. It's surely a character drama first before anything else. Don't misjudge it as being no more than a violent 'gangsta' thriller. The violence is brutal and honest but it does not distract, none of it is superfluous.
