Featured review
If you're a Samuel L. Jackson fan you'll probably watch this movie disregarding a good or bad review. I'm a fan and watched this movie with few expectations and thought it was a good movie worth watching at least once. Sam Jackson did a great job,and the other actors did well in their performances and meshed together really well. There are some great points in the movie that have quite a bit of tension and anger which was put across really well. This is of course not a work of art and has no moral to the story,but not all movies need to teach a lesson. What do you do when a racist,crazed cop lives next door and starts to harass you? I gave it a 6 out of 10. Good film with a decent premise,worth watching.
