Thandie Newton looked great in sheer white skirt even being groped but her character was not terribly sympathetic...She's my favorite "black" actress though she's I realize she's a lib and not terribly black technically..lol
Don Cheadle sort of stole the movie...he often does.
Terrence Howard was good but I've since learned he's a whiner even making up stuff about his bi-racial life with mom and dad to be "real".
I have never taken Matt Dillon really seriously...he was a regular at the China Club in NYC back when I was too ...early 80s and i found him affable but "different"
Bullock was decent...she had a good part
Reece's husband was sorta surprising
I doubt the writers, producers and director planned to make such an even handed flick....lol....sorta like I KNOW Demme (RIP) did not plan on making American History X even handed either....arguably the first film I remember that candid...
Glad you're enjoying New Zealand. I understand it's absolutely beautiful there.
