As entertaiment it was all right - but the question was did it deserve to be the movie of the year.
Wether you saw the movie as entertainment or as an intellectual examination of human frailty depends on what you expect form the material before hand. I read so much about this movie - about how it rose above the usual tripe, about how it examined the ideas of racism in a new light, but to me it didn't - everything was old hat all recycled from other material and nothing new.
The cop shooting the kid in the crusiser thinking that he was packing - you didnt think that would happen - how many movies have you seen where the young idealistic cop turns out to be the dark evil cop after seeing so much blood and guts - it happens in almost every cop movie ever made.
