Run for your life!

I'll preface this with the fact that I love Spike Lee films, 25th Hour being one of my all time favorite movies. This however is an absolute disaster. The concept is strong and you get a glimmer of hope that it might be good.....then the first 45 minutes ends. I truly wish I would have turned it off. The movie's constant reminders of the wrongs done to African Americans completely dilutes and disrupts any rhythm the film could have gotten and makes the entire movie well.....confusing. The script is flimsy and the dialogue is childish and comical (not in a good way), but we're supposed to be entrenched in the seriousness of the topic....or topics. If you're bored and like your intelligence insulted, this is the film for you. One positive note, Delroy Lindo was excellent. What a shame his performance is wasted on such a mediocre effort.
