One Sentence Plot Summary: A look at the ways in which race affects the lives of modern day Americans living in LA.
Starring: Sandra Bullock, Don Cheadle, Matt Dillon, Jennifer Esposito, Brendan Fraser, Terrence Howard, Ludacris, Thandie Newton, Michael Peña, Ryan Philippe, Shaun Toub, Larenz Tate, Keith David, William Fichtner, Bahar Soomekh, Nona Gaye, Marina Sirtis, Loretta Devine, Tony Danza, Daniel Dae Kim
Best of: Some truly tense moments mixed with some moments that really make you think lead to an ultimately pleasurable experience.
Worst of: Race is a tough topic to handle. The film makes many statements in small ways at the expense of making any larger statement. And, as is always the case when working in snapshots and stereotypes, I'm not sure they always get it right.
Notable: The film had such a small budget that the director's own car and home were used as sets.
Also nominated: Brokeback Mountain
