My Rating: 8.2/10

If you are a movie buff and if you know an oscar movie, with good IMDB ratings and with good reviews from everywhere. So you takeout some time to buy DVD or download it. And God knows why in the name of hell you din’t watched the movie for last one year… Man I am cursing myself; i think instead of watch probably 20th time any Harry Potter Movie of watching same episode of ELR for more than 5 times; I could have done better by watching this movie.

I was actually watching Russell Peters before and after that movie and still I was able to appreciate the drama in the movie. I must say movie started a bit slow; but that was dam required to build so many characters; anyway it was a great movie not only because of flawless direction and pace of the drama, but also due to the fact that how different shades of personality is expressed beautifully in the movie. Racial issue is definitely a good subject to make a movie and somehow most of movies on the subject are realy good; may be only good directors can pick up the courage to make such a movie. This movie was all about different characters and best thing was the film was able to do the justice to all characters, which is usually difficult for movie with these many characters. This also proves one of my theory that I have developed over time that the total impact function of a character in a movie is only dependent on the character and which actor is playing that; even with timing of 8%-12% of movie; some characters can make very high impact. Personally I liked the Officer John Ryan (played by Matt Dillon) character as it had shades of both positive and negative with well explained reasoning also shade of a resonsible son make it looks very real (from an Indian point of view but may not be from an American point of view).

Overall highly recommended movie not able to find a single flaw or minus point in the movie.
