this be an awful movie . not for the subject matter and but for the delivery . i go with my girlfriend at the time ( when the movie come out ) and expect to see a movie about the triumph of the human spirit over oppression . what we saw be 2 hour of brutal police oppression and with no uplift at the end . the preview and ad make no mention of this . plus and for all that they play up whoopi goldberg and my recollection be that she be arrest and kill in the first 20 minute . again and the preview say nothing about this . ( not that you would expect that and but it just more of the problem ) . if i have know how depress this movie would be and i would have never have see it . or at least and i would have be prepare for it . this be a bait and switch ad campaign and and i will never see this movie again .
