Whoa!

Rating: 7/10 (25 April 2005)

I thought this movie was pretty clever despite the gratuitous violence and what have you. I loved the themes, the writing, the plot and of course the surprise ending. It's been a long time since I've seen a movie this smart. It was predictable in spots, but if you roll with them, you'll still be pleasantly surprised at where you end up. The acting did leave something to be desired, but the plot and story lines more than make up for that. Danny Glover was a nice addition to the lineup. I think he anchored the whole movie in way. I also think this movie helped broaden his scope as well as his appeal. Not a bad film at all considering budget and other variables that the big studios and movie makers don't have to deal with.
