I went to see this movie with absolutely zero knowledge of what it would be about. I knew some of the actors who were starring in it; Don Cheadle, Sandra Bullock, Matt Dillon, Ryan Phillipe...

This is a powerful, gut-wrenching movie about modern race-relations. I loved it. It's a smart movie that makes you think about racial stereotypes. I highly recommend it.

Also, Ludacris was in it, and he was fantastic.

Friend of mine watched it yesterday and gave it two thumbs up as well. Anybody else seen it? Don't have much time lately so want to make sure the movies I go to are actually really good..

Yeah I already commented on it in another thread, it's very very good.

Why are rappers awesome actors? For example, Mos Def in Hitchiker's

confidence & showmanship

...rappers can spit out lyrics with speed and accuracy...once you've got that it can't be too hard to remember and deliver some dialogue in a movie...the confidence and showmanshipadds adds drama and/or comedy to the delivery of those lines...

Thats their only entertainment value, most should quit their day job.

Mos Def has actually been in a quite a few movies. The Italian Job is the only other one I can think of off the top of my head. But I think he is actually a great actor.

Seeing Ja Rule get shot in Assualt on Precinct 13 was just about the best part of that movie. I kept rewinding it over and over. God I can't stand that guy!

I don't like him either, I may have to watch that movie just to see that scene.

Probably one of the best movies I've seen in a while. Definitely worth the 20 buck purchase.

I rented this for my wife and I to watch this evening. Glad to see the positive reviews. Looking forward to it...

Rented it last night.

Very very good.

Just got done watching it. There should be more movies like this made...and less movies like...well...just about every piece of trash made this year.

This was a powerful movie. I felt myself on the edge of my seat a few times.

My favorite movie of the year for sure.. but definitely emotionally draining.

Zamtuk · Post by **Zamtuk** » September 19, 2005, 10:57 am

thanks to all this talk, i went out and bought this last night.

Hardly jawdropping, but certainly a decent rental. I really enjoyed the performances by Cheadle, Bullock and Dillon--they showed excellent range.

Though this was not quite as good as 'Do the right Thing' in the racial tensions sub-sub genre, it did tell a good story and I am happy to recommend it to those that ask.

Woo! Best Picture!

Well deserved imho.

Boogahz · Post by **Boogahz** » March 6, 2006, 12:15 pm

I have added this movie back into my Netflix queue. I will attempt to watch it for the third, or is it the fourth, time...

Niffoni · Post by **Niffoni** » March 6, 2006, 2:13 pm

Well deserved. Any movie that can keep me and my smartass friends silent for more than an hour deserves recognition.
