One of the best movies that deals honestly with the racism that society as whiole displays in it's various formats, and the sheer number of awards this film received were fullyearned, and more.
The writing is excellent, the acting supports the writing level to the hilt, providing the viewer with deeper insights than possibly first suggested.
Dillon gives a masterclass in three facets of his life and psyche, each of which supports whole of his real persona, together with the contrasting characters of Cheadle, Howard, Peña, Bullock & Newton, together with the rest of the cast that brings it all together. The characters of Newton and Bullock are less explored though their subtle final realisations of themselves, without words, speaks absolute volumes.
The closing music by Bird together with the accompanying video montage brings the movie to a just conclusion.
When I find life is becoming just a pain, I can watch this movie and again fully appreciate the people in my life.
