Okay, it was full of racial tension but it wasn't Racist ! It was by the author of Spike Lee's CLOCKERS (1994) so what were you viewers expecting.
I found it interesting but in the end disappointing due to the irritating editing ( granted it was better then DOMINO ! ) and overlong time but it's better then any Lifetime or Hallmark movie of the Week any day.
I'm actually surprised that Julianne Moore or Samuel Jackson didn't get at least a nomination because they felt like they were real people.
The people who hate this film are obviously the same ones who despised similar films like CRASH ( 2004) or JOHN Q. If you want a racist, politically-incorrect movie, watch one of Spike Lee's ( few low-points on his resume) INSIDE MAN. Man, that was over-hyped and really pointless.
** 1/2 Stars out of 4. Above-Average but not great.
Please Note that I posted this review because I know when a film deserves better even if it isn't all that.
