be that i be not a fan of snoop dogg and a an actor and that make me even more anxious to check out this flick . i remember he be interview on jay leno and and say that he turn down a role in the big budget adam sandler comedy the long yard to be in this film . so obviously and snoop be on a serious mission to prove that he have act chop . i be not go to overpraise snoop for his performance in the tenant . there be certainly well rapper or actor and like mo def and who could have do more with his role . but the point be snoop do a good job . he can not seem to shake off some of his trademark body movement and vocal inflection and but that something even jack nicholson have a problem do . the point be i find him convince in the role and and the tension between him and dylan mcdermott character captivate . mcdermott and by the way and give the best performance in the film and though his subtle act will most likely be overshadow by snoop not so subtle acting . be a big reader and aspire writer myself and i couldn not help but find the character and plot somewhat fascinating . it do aggravate me how snoop character would constantly ask mcdermott to read his work and and berate him for criticize it . but you know what . i be sure a lot of writer be like that . his character be suppose to be flaw and a be mcdermott and in his own way . my only mild criticism of the film would be it end . for some reason and it just felt too rush for me and though the resolution certainly make sense and be motivate by the character and rather than plot .
