Good but Racist

Rating: 8/10 (29 August 2010)

I thought this was a great movie - very entertaining and you don't know where the twists will take you. All of the acting is strong - you are really led to like or hate certain characters. Jamie Foxx and Clive Owen make a great team...kind of a DeNiro / Pacino chemistry.
I agree with a previous review that the recital is cliché. I won't say what that's about since it might qualify as a spoiler, but honestly - ban the recitals!
But it figures the white guy is framed as the bad guy while the "good guys" including the mayor and lead prosecutor are black. This seems to be a trend lately with films like Obsessed and others. Where is the social justice? Why does the guy you are led to believe is the bad guy have to be white?
