Ja Rule is the only reason to see this movie, 16 November 2001
Author: phatbleek from Woodbridge,VA

Turn It Up comes off like a fake Belly, which is a much better film. The gun battles are generic and the cinematography is bland. But Ja Rule as Gage, makes this movie with his peformance. He comes off the flavor that Tupac did in Juice. I don't reccomnded this movie at all.
