Hollywood twaddle

Rating: 3/10 (1 October 2005)

I'm pleased to see that I'm not alone in thinking that this film is a load of twaddle (despite having Don Cheadle in it) and is in the realm of soap. Racism is the lowest of the low, but treating it in this contrived fashion is not entertaining and does no good. The main problem areas are: the use of stereotypes, excessive and unbelievable coincidences, unbelievable changes in character of the protagonists, and trying to get too many strands demonstrating racism into the same plot (if that's what you can call it).
I should have known what to expect with Sandra Bullock in the cast list. On the other hand, my wife thought it was brilliant.
