Don't Pass This Up

Rating: 8/10 (2 November 2013)

I avoided this show because the concept did not appeal to me. How could I empathize with the main character as portrayed in the trailers. Boy did I do myself a disservice.
Story: Very well written. A bit obvious, but that is not always bad. Dialogue: Well written and acted.
Cinematography: I really know nothing about the art except what I like. I found this done well. It supported the story and did not detract.
Acting: We knew Mr. Washington would be superb, but the supporting cast was also superb.
So, if you are tired of super hero movies and more flash than story this movie is for you. While it is not Casablanca it is very well done, and one of the closest modern movies that provides that type of story telling.
