eviltammyWe figured we'd better go see it before it left the area :)
An enthusiastic thumbs up! Very good movie: excellent interweaving story - you had to pay attention - and a great ensemble cast. I think the ads made more of Sandra Bullock being in it, but if anyone was "the star", it was Don Cheadle. Bullock's character was more interesting in that she wasn't really someone you liked, unlike most of her other characters; she was whiny, bitchy, racist and cruel - but then again, she had just had a gun shoved in her face and been thrown to the ground by carjackers.
It definitely made you think about how we judge people by appearance, even when we know we shouldn't, and how wrong - and right - those judgements can be. I hope this one gets remembered when award time comes around - the story definitely - and I know a couple of the awards acknowledge 'ensemble cast' - and this was truly an ensemble.
