Pretentious Drivel

Rating: 1/10 (13 March 2008)

This movie is an outstanding example of political correctness gone wrong. It is a paranoid, pontificating pastiche of fantasy. The characters were one dimensional stereotypes. The story predictable and cliché. It manages to get all it's facts wrong while moralizing us with a story devoid of any substance or connection to reality. Smarten up, Hollywood. Don't let naievity and purported 'social consciousness' replace merit.
With that being said, the casting and the music were commendable. I would have liked to say the same for the movie. A thoughtful, provoking movie about racism? Go see 'American History X'.
