Excellence

Rating: 10/10 (14 January 2007)

This film is extremely underrated. And to have won best picture and be underrated is a hard feat to accomplish. The overall cinematography is very good, and the way it brings emotion out of anyone should be something that people marvel at. This is the type of powerful movie that everyone should be forced to watch at some point in their life. The Screen play is excellent as Paul Haggis does a great job of tying all these people's lives together. Somehow, the script was able to grab incredible performances from every character, even the amateurs like rapper Ludicrous. It is pure power the way it sends your emotions on a frenzy, from being stunned by the racial tension, to the couple humorous scenes. Matt Dillon's performance is solid, and Terrance Howard and Don Cheadle give their usual excellent performance. I've used a certain word multiple times in this comment, and that is the only word to describe this film: Excellence.
