NEVER DIE ALONE tells the story of King David (DMX) a big time old-school street thug who is murdered shortly after returning from jail on a quest for redemption. After his death, an aspiring novelist (David Arquette) comes into possession of a series of tapes King David recorded, telling the story of his life which is then relayed in a series of brutal flashbacks (involving pimping, drug dealing, and murder). Meanwhile we also learn what led to the actions of Mike (Michael Ealy), King David's assassin. (officiële tekst van distribiteur)

Engels Never Die Alone is a gritty action crime drama set in a contemporary black ghetto, clearly inspired by classic NOIR films from the 40s and 50s in both form and content - whether it's the commentary by the main character, the lighting and color toning (typical is the scene of a dark car's silhouette with blood-red lights), or especially the raw atmosphere soaked with realistically portrayed ruthless violence. The cast is decent, and the soundtrack is interesting. Never Die Alone doesn't represent a film revolution, nor is it exceptional, but in its genre, it stands as a respectable above-average endeavor. Overall impression: 75%. ()

Engels It's hard to believe, but DMX is truly an incredibly cool motherfucker. You can shake your head at his wisecracks, but you’ll end up devouring them without even realizing it. Surprisingly, the story is decent and the runtime is just right. Unlike typical American “gangsta” movies, there is raw action and a digital camera (mostly filmed at night), which are very welcome things. Furthermore, the ending adds a pleasant breeze of unexpected twists to a somewhat worn-out plot. The film overall is not innovative, but it is presented in a truly original way, without moralizing, motherly speeches, or an attempt at redemption. DMX is simply a scoundrel, but you can't help but like him. ()
