Title: NICE TRY BUT ULTIMATELY PHONY
Review: The writers get away with murder in this contrived bit of racial political incorrectness. They use every racial epithet possible in a attempt to show how NON MELTING the pot is in Los Angeles (And America in General). Good acting almost saves this film but the coincidences are unbelieveable and Thandie Newton( A superb actress) can't save a totally riduclous scene in which she is trapped in a burning car and screaming "Dont touch me",the phoniest scene in an pretentious film that falls far short of its goals. The fact that is lost the Oscar to "Brokeback Moutain" is something future generations will ponder and probably laugh about.
