Annoyingly superficial...

Rating: 1/10 (9 November 2009)

What an irritatingly simplistic and utterly unbelievable film this was.
From the first to the last scene I was just amazed at how unnatural the scenario unfolded and how jaw-droppingly convenient every plot turn was laid out the viewer to mercifully accept. I just don't understand what people find entertaining about this sort of movie. The social commentary was laughable and at best lacking, the score obnoxiously present and far too much actors overacted to the point of it being a parody.
All it takes is one preachy racist lecture from dad at the breakfast table to make a seemingly intelligent young man a skinhead...what? Even the average daytime soap creates a better backdrop than this. Blacks simply giving up their turf over a lost game of hoops? On what true story on what planet was this movie based again? *Ugh*
This movie could have been made by Ikea; during construction everything is completely spelled out for you, but that which should be holding it together is randomly missing.
3.5 / 10
