-
80Fishburne excels in his triple-threat roles as actor, director and adapter of his own play, and his cast glows under his direction.
-
50As urban gangster drama, Once in the Life is way below mundane, and Fishburne's direction exceeds the rookie jitters.
-
50The movie remains an actor's exercise--too much dialogue, too much time in the room, too much happening offstage, or in the past, or in memory, or in imagination.
