This movie had me on the edge of my seat. It is excellent! I don't know the critics. I really don't understand the person that said if handled as a comedy it is a great movie... what's funny about living a lie or loosing what you believe is your life? Unfortunately it seems that this is another movie with an african american cast and the critics just don't get it. This is not necessarily a "black" issue, but ... maybe they don't get that African Americans can work together. Anywho, the movie is excellent. Issues are addressed and unfortunately reality has been unCOVERed!
