“u0026quot;Light It Upu0026quot; is smart, heart pounding and filled with suspense that will keep everyone on the edge of their seat. This is a truly smart thriller drama that takes a look at one of the biggest problems facing America.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003enEverything about u0026quot;Light It Upu0026quot; worked from the performances from relative newcomers such as Usher Raymond and Robert Riu0026#39;chard to veterans like Forest Whitaker and Vanessa L. Williams. One thing I must say about the cast of u0026quot;Light It Upu0026quot; they took the script and performed with the heart and intent of making this film a success. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe best thing about this movie was not the action but the message that it was trying to send the message that everyone deserves to be treated equally and with the same amount of respect. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAlso, the characters were richly developed with honesty and integrity that seems to be missing from films I have been watching recently. Iu0026#39;m glad I got the opportunity to watch u0026quot;Light It Upu0026quot; because it taught me not to make judgements based upon first impressions. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhether you like u0026quot;Light It Upu0026quot; or not it will touch you and move you to action. This truly is a movie that has spirit and deserves to be watched.”
