This movie was not a perfect blockbuster Oscar worthy movie. With that being said, I feel this movie did a great job of bringing some of the elements of black American life and concerns to the screen. This movie held my attention for the entire 2 hours, just to watch how Tyler Perry put this whodunit together. Yes, the attorney was incompetent. But that shows the truth of life and is what happens more often than not in American court system. Sad but very true.
