racism is bad, m'kay mr mackey?

Rating: 6/10 (7 October 2006)

Decent acting throughout the movie although the rapper was probably the best actor in the movie (forgot his name). Beyond predictable from start to finish. Yes I got emotional when I thought the girl got shot, that was a tear jerker for sure, but something about this movie was so artificial (in typical 'hollyweird' fashion) that it just didn't leave me with anything to feel for in the end. Maybe it was the characters not being genuine enough, maybe it was the portrayal of certain stereotypes we've all come to know and not appreciate. Hard to put a finger on it.
This is one of those movies that seems like a bunch of short B rated movies coming together in one collossal pile of "I told ya so". Worth seeing but is this movie worthy of the hype it got? Not really.
