Title: lives in change
Review: The film does not allow any character to fall into a sterotype despite the initial appearances. Everyone is redeeming, in greater or lessor degree, in their own world, despite their frailites and prejudices. The writing is crisp and no easy turns are taken. The film has unexpected twists but none of them are contrived. Each character is developed just enough for us to develop our opinions of them and then things change. Those of us familar with LA will recognize the icons of the city and the mix of cultures. Each character has enough prejuice or hate in his/her repertoire of life to demonstrate we had better not be too quick to judge without exploring what might in us be similar to the characters' flaws.
