Poor and shallow

Rating: 1/10 (2 July 2005)

This film is an attempt to look at the issue of racism. However I felt that it had about the same depth dealing with racism as "100 Girls" did dealing with sexism. Unrealistic characters were placed in unbelievable situations and the film required a remarkable number of coincidences to occur in order to string it together.
The choice of telling this story through multiple characters in a short episodic form was a bad choice as it made it even shallower than it might have been otherwise. Some great performances from the actors failed to lift this film above a painfully low level of quality. I recommend seeing any other film that is available rather than watch this movie.
It's certainly not another "Power of One" as many people seem to make it out to be. While it seemed to have received popular acclaim I don't believe it deserves this reaction.
