a an old white housewife i can still appreciate that laurence fishburne be one of our fine actor . anyone who appreciate his work like in deep cover might enjoy watch the incredible acting range of this actor . since i think this be his directorial debut it might prove even more interesting . all of the acting be quite good . if you can not take low manhattan junky world or the reality of crime life ( not glorify action shoot em ups ) then this be not a film you would enjoy . it be mr. fishburne usual contribution to incredibly subtle relationship . i would love to see larry and anthony hopkins go at each other some day in a movie .
