“I found this to be some of the best work Denzel has done. I thought he hit the nail on the head in terms of helping his viewers feel empathy for the character. I have to be honest here. I strongly believe that if you are in your sixties and of African-American heritage this may really hit home on many levels. In general it is a film about holding on to our core values, then forgetting them to join the rest of societal madness only to realize that you were not alone in your view of the world. Restoring your original core only to pay the price of deserting it in the first place. Everyday we see people forfeit family,love and life for materialistic gains and other power trips. This is also about the change of values from one generation to another in todayu0026#39;s world. This is a film with a message that has and will go over a lot of heads judging by some of the bad reviews Iu0026#39;ve read. Awesome sound track consisting of 60u0026#39;s and 70u0026#39;s soul and rock. Excellent character portrayals by all bar none.”
