The Stereotype Triumphant

Rating: 5/10 (13 September 2005)

I found this film to be very disturbing. For all the glitzy acting, excellent cinematography, and elaborate plot twists; this film does nothing but sustain racial and gender stereotyping. To my great disappointment it is nothing more than just another Hollywood production where everything is simple, there is no gray and the good cowboy will come to the rescue at the end of the film. I think films like these are frivolous and even dangerous, they may leave you with the idea that you've seen something 'that really makes you think' while in fact the stereotypes have just been reinforced. Shame on you Mr Haggis!
