Review of Sacrifice

Okay, so, Danielle Vasquez I believe is her name played by Paula Patton, is supposed to be this slick tongued, smart, diligent, sly, beautifully, well-dressed corporate wonder woman, I guess. I have to say I loved that her character was loved by everyone and she has this good rep in the streets to where she knows everyones business. Kind of your typical know it all business person that can throw anything in anyones face. She has a sister who is a triple platinum singer who is an obvious narcissist and has a terribly insecure boyfriend. Some SugKnight character accidentally kills one of his rappers and her sister(the singer) gets assaulted. The plot could have had so much more to it, but it was just so poorly executed. I was finding bits and pieces of the movie I liked, but then there would be a scene I totally just couldn't deal with. I like that she had an old relationship with one of the detectives from college which made the movie watchable because they both wanted to do right by people in their own way. The cute quotes that Patton(Vasquez) threw out were clever as well. Like "Don't get buried in your own, you don't have enough dirt."

The movie wasn't terrible, just terribly written. I hate when movies have a decent plot but use the wrong actors and the wrong direction. So for me, I gave it 4 stars for the effort and for at least keeping me a bit interested.
