Contrived garbage

Rating: 1/10 (23 December 2005)

This film is terrible. The acting was excellent for the most part, but that is the only good thing about it.
The film is supposed to be an expose of racism amidst normal people and does so by throwing scene after scene of these supposed "normal" people being racist. That is not showing racism in normal people it is showing racist people.
I am stunned by the number of people who have given this film such a high rating; I can only presume that they are doing so out of fear of appearing racist for saying it is rubbish.
I think if you want to see an excellent film about racism and dealing with it you should see American History X (though that film also contains the odd bit of contrived dialogue it is still a fantastic film).
This is definitely one for the trash.
