I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Considering Mr. Freeman one of the best actors ever, I did not think twice about getting this film out of the rental store's shelf.What a surprise.The movie is incredible, the actors are so real, everybody shines with realism, so uplifting, god, this is a movie to be placed right next to all the classics.No, wait, I am thinking about another Morgan Freeman's movie... because anything else he has made has a merit, even the Pawnbroker.Not this waste. Guilty by association is that exactly. Morgan Freeman just gave the name to this junk but the actual film is an insult to anything artistic, intelligent or constructive.The only thing this miserable film can do for Mr. Freeman is to corroborate that his undisputed talent is stronger than the worse waste of film strip known to modern times.

I rented this movie only because of Morgan Freeman. Having seen movies like Outbreak and Se7en, this is totally disgusting.Are they talking about Gangs? Drugs?...Nothing...Morgan freeman should think before lending his name to these kind of films though he comes only in 4, 5 scenes.I had to fast forward (X16) for most of the scenes. There is also a utterly indecent bed scenes and a cabaret which most of us would feel disgusting.I would rate a 1/10 for this movie..

Wow. When I rented this movie, I knew that it might be bad, but I never expected a train wreck like this. It's not so much that the script was boring, but the way the movie was executed was somewhat bizarre. People's behavior (the police's in particular) just didn't make much sense. I expected a certain level of quality given that the movie included Morgan Freeman, but I was unpleasantly surprised. His character wasn't particularly interesting or important. I have a suspicion that in the original script, Lieutenant Redding was a very minor character, but when they landed Morgan Freeman the Lieutenant was given more face time, though no more relevance. If you watch the trailer, it appears that the movie is centered on him. As it turns out, the plot and outcome of the movie would be the same if his character had never existed.

I picked this movie up at the video store because of Morgan's prominant picture on the cover. If he was in this movie more than 5 minutes total, I'll eat my dog's dog food. What a disappointment. I'm willing to sit through sub-par acting to watch Morgan Freeman flare across the screen like a shooting star, but he didn't get enough time to do anything.
