too bad

Rating: 8/10 (7 March 2014)

I wish Brad Pitt had not been in this movie. It was a very small part and there were probably hundreds of actors who could have done it better without the big name distraction. This was not a Woody Allen satire to pepper with cameos. This wasn't an actor portraying Bass, it was Brad Pitt espousing the injustice of racism. He even had a bit of a smirk as he spoke, when it would have been far more appropriate to be solemn and sincere. It was disrespectful to the 'message', selfish of Mr Pitt, disruptive to the viewing experience. Really? Is that the best you could have done??
Otherwise, a great movie about a horrible subject, hard to watch, the brutality that we are capable of when we are afraid.
