Strays (1997) is a movie that I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows three friends that share an apartment in Manhattan. They each live their own lives making ends meet, selling drugs and womanizing. When one of the friends wants to change his lifestyle, not be known as just a drug dealer and have an actual relationship, the other friends push back and call him crazy.
This movie is written by, directed by and stars Vin Diesel (xXx) and also stars Mike Epps (Friday After Next), Suzanne Lanza (Dexter), Joey Dedio (Captain Planet) and F. Valentino Morales (The Fast and Furious).
The storyline for this had some potential with unique storyline, characters and circumstances. The cast delivers solid performances and Mike Epps was hilarious, though painfully underutilized. Vin Diesel delivers a relatable performance and easy character to root for. There were some scenes that were odd, whether it was Diesel turning down ladies begging to have sex with him or showing up to a party with nothing but a wife beater on.
Overall, this movie has some potential and worthwhile writing that is worth a watch. I would score this a 6/10 and strongly recommend it.
