Negative Positive
Title: Certainly not "Best Picture"...
Review: The overbearing problem with this film is the dialogue - almost ALL lines in the screenplay are packed with a racial slur or over-the-top prejudice - so much so that gone is any identification with the characters whatsoever. Gone also is any sympathy for virtually all characters. I never felt engaged.I see the intent of the structure of this film, but I thought the entire second half was incoherent and, as a result of a sequence of unrelated scenes, I felt like this movie ended 7 times before the credits actually began to roll.The strength of this film is it's ability to highlight chance, karma, fate, etc playing a part in one's life. However, it just didn't quite work for me. I've seen better cinematic explorations of racial issues, most of them without the big-name actors to cameo, distract, and deliver such poor dialogue in this mediocre film.
Is the review positive or negative?
