The Dope Game 2

The Dope Game 2 DVD carries the 2003 crime film from brothers Eduardo and Jose Quiroz, the follow-up to The Dope Game, about four corrupt Oakland task force officers who secretly run the city's drug trade until a new drug lord refuses to play along.

It is a standard DVD, so it plays in DVD players and in Blu-ray players. The film runs about 90 minutes.

The Story of Dope Game 2

Four officers on Oakland's Drug and Gang Task Force present themselves as the people cleaning up the streets, but they secretly control the drug trade. Their leader, Officer Juan Diaz, opens the film by killing two dealers and taking their drugs.

Those drugs belong to Miguel Durazo, a Mexican dealer who is new to Oakland. The officers arrest his sellers and then try to shake him down for money, but Durazo tapes the conversation. The squeeze turns into a showdown between the crooked cops and his crew.

The story is loosely based on the Riders scandal inside the Oakland Police Department and on several real Oakland drug dealers. Chicano rapper David "Dyno" Rocha, who starred in The Dope Game, returns for this second film.

Why the Dope Game 2 Movie Stands Out

Where the first film followed two hit men on a heroin run from Texas, Dope Game 2 flips the view to the people with badges. That makes it a different kind of crime story, built around police corruption rather than a single deal gone wrong.

Eduardo Quiroz served as director, screenwriter and executive producer, and the film was shot in Oakland, the city where its story takes place. For anyone who liked the first film, The Dope Game sequel is a natural next pick.
