An ambitious plot, but mediocre in execution, and almost everything else. It went searingly OTT in the melodrama department at times and although it's a bold and compelling tale on racism, it really doesn't break new grounds or carry itself well enough the entire way. The whole connection between the different characters were abstract at best, and 'Traffic' did it better anyway, granted there were only three different storylines there to follow.
I found this movie 2 hours of tiresomely perpetuating every single racial stereotype available mixed with some preaching. It's obviously designed to win awards and be a crowd-pleaser I guess, what with the top #100 rating in IMDB.
3/5 stars
