Review of Q&A

This movie does OK overall. It held it's own as a crime drama. It kept a strong storyline going with good acting from the leads as well as some good support. Dialogue was sometimes very good while at other times hollow and cookie-cutter. 2 things drag down the movie a bit, first a poor theme song and score in general - dated in a bad way - why is feel good pop in what should be a crime drama? This yet again is an instance where music becomes an irritating distraction to the movie, and why it's so important to pay attention to it when editing, but perhaps being 1990 is what it is. Secondly the relationship of the lead and his ex-girlfriend. That whole explanation was in general stupid and unbelievable - with a pretty bad ending, And moreover the issue with racism the movie makes especially with dialogue is poor - a lot of characters are either ignorant or bigots 1 dimensionally. There is quite a lot of profanity - maybe too much. The crime scenes are OK, and the story unfolds pretty well. On the strength of story and acting alone, worth a look, but just missed being excellent due to it's problems.
