not that good of a movie

Rating: 5/10 (5 March 2007)

I saw this movie yesterday. Although I had seen the commercial for it on TV , I still had no idea what the movie was about ,or what Justin Timberlake had to do with it. So we went to see it , and I was not impressed. The movie was very weird to say the least ,and then they do this weird thing we they pause the movie and show this old clip of an old man talking about blues music. It's like they wanted to make a very serious and heavy movie , but felt short. It was very scattered. Many things were thrown at you that made no sense with the overall topic. I think Samuel Jackson did a great job, like always. However Justin Timberlake was not that good. He plays Ray's boyfriend. He goes to fight the war in Iraq and is sent back home because he has severe anxiety. He freaks out over everything. Then Ray is a nympho , that will sleep with anything , doesn't matter if he's 12 or 72. The movie is very weird and disturbing. There were too many sex scenes and Ray is naked the whole time. Also , David banner is in this movie .. his first scene is very disturbing. Let's just say it's not too far from porn.
