Jeffrey Wright is nothing short of amazing as drug dealer Peoples Hernandez. Taking a role that could have easily become a scenery chewing caricature, Mr. Wright breathes so much inner life into the man that he serves up a complex and complicated character which was riveting to watch. The language of the dialogue is coarse, as harsh as I've heard in recent months. Whether such profanity is needed to communicate the ideas of the script, I'll leave for others to debate. Of all the reasons man has concocted to hate one another, the color of one's skin has got to be the most ridiculous.
Racial prejudice is indefensible.
If we as a people could just learn to emulate God in this matter, we would all be the stronger for it.
