What happens

Turn It Up is a 2000 American action hood film written and directed by Robert Adetuyi, and starring Ja Rule, Pras, Faith Evans and Jason Statham. It marked Ja Rule's film debut. The film was released by New Line Cinema on September 6, 2000 to generally negative reviews from critics who noted it "patently absurd in both the details and larger aspects"; it was also a financial disappointment.
