About Survival of the Illest
The streets are lined with cash and the only way to get it from the gangsters is to steal without hesitation and gun for your life like there's no tomorrow -- and when the bullets finish blazing, only the illest will be left standing.
Directed by Derrick 'D-Reck' Dixon, Greg Carter, Survival of the Illest leans on a strong ensemble — Scarface, E-40, Big Moe — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 2004.
