this movie be bad . just bad . in absolute term and bad . the dialog jump off the screen and slug you in the face with it thoroughly artificial banter and and then defecate on your ability to detect even trace amount of subtlety . racism be bad . racism in los angeles can be especially bad . i live in the city of angel and i can attest to that . what be so terrible about the bigotry in los angeles be it insidious nature . it creep at you with a know glance and or a swallowed word . until just at the edge of a full on fist fight and it almost never come right out and say and why do he have to be black . i can see quite clearly that the car jackers be black and the detective partner be hispanic and the da be white . as long a there be film roll through the projector and i can let the visuals and music and word take me to that conclusion without just tell me the conclusion . character emote and and we read between the line to make the connection and conclusion . that be a partnership and trust between filmmaker and audience . that trust be rap by this movie . a good film pull you in direction a an audience and and it steer you with cue to drive to a point . this movie beat you down with it point and insult you and your intelligence along the way . my unanswered question be and why do we a a society say collectively and thank you .
