William & Michelle Staley

I was disappointed to see one of my favorite actors involved in such a poorly made film. The background music was subpar, and the overall production quality was lacking. The morals conveyed in the story were questionable, and the unnecessary innuendos detracted from the experience. This movie feels like an insult to those who value meaningful storytelling. It’s frustrating to navigate a landscape where such content exists. I gave it two stars solely because I admire Denzel Washington and his previous work. However, I barely recognized him in this role. His choice of facial expressions and the excessive use of the N-word felt entirely out of character for him. It seemed like they recycled elements from "Jungle Fever" without originality. Overall, the film was a complete mismatch, and it took a lot of effort for me to sit through the entire thing. Coming from a great film like "Jungle Fever," which celebrated the differences among people, this movie completely isolated itself from the diverse fabric of our country.erse fabric of our country.
