Based on cult novelist Donald Goines' novel of the same name, "Never
Die Alone" is a richly literate film noir about King David (DMX), a
hard-boiled, stylish criminal who returns to his hometown seeking
redemption but finding only violent death. But he did not die alone...
King David's final moments are spent with Paul (David Arquette) an
aspiring journalist who knew him just a few minutes but upon whose life he
would forever have an impact. King David - half preacher, half Satan, and
all street smarts - had recorded the story of his recent exploits on
audiotape, leaving behind an often-poetic sermon on villainy and its
consequences. The tapes reveal that the cycle of violence and retribution
his actions have spawned has come back on him full circle, as he suspected
it might all along...
