Title: Bad Screenplay
Review: Classic example of an interesting idea ruined by poor execution. Had the story been told in a linear way, with the audience aware of what's going on from the beginning, this movie could have been much more effective and powerful. Instead, by being purposely obtuse and overwrought, this movie is 100% DOA. I'm sure it was intended as Oscar fodder for Will Smith. But a script that plays the shell game instead of giving you the story straight is usually suspect of being shallow, and this one is about as deep as a kiddy pool. Strictly for those moved by Hallmark commercials and Oprah Book-of-the-Month picks. For the rest of us, this is a clumsy, self-indulgent misfire.
