Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Cradle 2 the Grave is a 2003 action film directed by Andrzej Bartkowiak and starring Jet Li and DMX. Despite the title, it's not a sequel to anything.The film opens with a gang of African American criminals composed of leader Anthony Fait (DMX) and his associates: girlfriend Daria (Gabrielle Union), and lackeys Tommy (Anthony Anderson) and Miles (Drag-On), performing a diamond heist, with particular emphasis on some black diamonds that their employer, Christophe (Paolo Seganti), is after. Alas, Taiwanese Intelligence Agent Su (Li), who is after the diamonds himself for unknown reasons, busts them. Despite this, Anthony manages to escape with the diamonds and bring them to a fence, Archie (Tom Arnold), for them to be appraised. That night, Christophe is murdered by henchmen of the man he was working for, Yao Ling (Mark Dacascos). Ling also sends some henchmen after Anthony, in search of the diamonds. Anthony and Su meet each other and are able to repel these henchmen, but then Anthony learns that Ling has kidnapped his daughter, Vanessa, and won't release her until he gets the diamonds. They then find that gangsters under the command of jailed crime boss "Jump" Chambers (Chi McBride) came to Archie, who possessed them, and took them. Anthony and Su decide to team up to get the diamonds and Vanessa back, in addition to uncovering why Ling and Chambers want the diamonds in the first place.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Artistic License – Military: When describing the abilities of the diamonds a Sidewinder missile is described as having enough power to take out a tank. A Sidewinder is an air to air missile, not an anti-tank missile and would be unlikely to hurt a modern tank much in the unlikely event it hit one as modern air to air missiles destroy enemy aircraft with high velocity fragmentation warheads - which is something tank armor is explicitly designed to stop. | |

Asshole Victim: Yao Ling is no saint himself but two of the people he kills won't be eliciting any sympathy from the audience.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

Action Dad: Both Fait and Su. Fait is a pretty good fighter despite lacking Su's martial arts training. Su mentions having a sixteen-year-old daughter of his own. | |

All for Nothing | |
| Cradle 2 the Grave / int_aed65980 | comment |
All for Nothing: The whole fight club/chase escapee turns out to be pointless as, while the protagonists get the info where the stones are, Yao Ling directly goes to Chambers and forces him to give him the location. Fait and Su arrive only minutes after Yao Ling retrieves them. If Vanessa hadn't cut herself free and used a cell to call Fait, they wouldn't have found her. | |
