  1. Lathan, charismatic and beautifully strong, holds the screen in every scene.
  2. 80
    Although the writing and the directing are smart and purposeful, the movie takes flight on the strength of its performances.
  3. 60
    The movie's performances, especially Lathan's, are strong enough to balance out the sometimes-clichéd script.
  4. A film built upon transitions so weak and obvious it's astonishing the entire thing doesn't collapse on itself.

    While admirably unsentimental, it's nevertheless unengaging, poorly acted and frequently boring... though I confess I had little interest in the subject matter. Expand
