***CONTAINS MIDPOINT PLOT SPOILER***
Tommy (Anthony Macke) has an NDE (near death experience) in the first scene and becomes an author and "life coach." He has a beautiful wife (Sanaa Lathan) and an older brother who just got out of prison (Mike Epps). Angel (Forest Whitaker) takes Lithium and has visions of his dead mother. He hires Tommy to be his life coach to help him out which eventually becomes "Misery." The film goes full circle as the therapist gets therapy.
I liked the basic plot outline, I wasn't thrilled with the execution. I kept imagining how much better this film would have been with Samuel L. Jackson as the antagonist. Forest needed to look more bipolar. I found myself waiting for the movie to pick up and once it did, it changed the direction of the film which caught me off guard.
Will work as a rental.
Parental Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.
