The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

This movie was awful, the story-line was not developed or explained until the end. The cops only appeared in the first half when he shoots the man in Rose's office, after that, they kill a police officer and her sister and no one shows up as they ride into the sunset. Then the supposed twist comes up when she figures out he is the killer and suddenly he is no longer a crack shot but some inept buffoon who doesn't know how to aim. And she kills him, what will she do next, bury him in the fields. NO emotion, no police, just vengeance; for what he was protecting her. NO sense, too cheesy.

I expected more from Isaiah Washington. This review is in no way a disparagement towards him, it wasn't his choice to be casted alongside an overly emotional actress. The quality of the overly dramatic performance of his counterpart is what completely ruined the movie. It may have been a good movie, but it was as if they intended to make it with an other side of the tracks kind of undertone; a love story of a mysterious clairvoyant and a troubled, complicated convict. No and no. None of that computed. Lisa Anderson's performance was a disappointment and a reason to not even watch this film. She may be pretty, but she is way too much. Even for a clairvoyant, way, way too much. I give it a 3/10 because there are more than likely other films that are worse than this one, but not many.

I kept feeling the script was a collection of ideas for a script that hurriedly got forwarded as a movie. Like writing a letter and not proof- reading it. I could see some great potential in the story and at times I started to get interested then the script meandered off or came to a dead end. The actors were certainly capable of doing it better but the director seemed to know more about what was going on - in his own mind - but failed to tell the story with his chosen medium. Maybe writing and directing the same movie can get in the way of completeness of the film. Not being from US of A I was unsure of the heavy bias of black people in the scenes - is this the norm for that part of the world - are things really that segregated. Not recommended - even if it's free...

First off, let me say to the person who posted the comments about afro Americans and the Oscars,IMDb is about reviewing movies,not about slandering, black actors and ranting. Your post has nothing to do with this film which is really a good movie.The story is concise the flow is steady and the acting is up to par.The whole cast did a splendid job in their roles and Isaiah Washington was spot on. Tell me, what did Cuba Gooding Jr. And Wesley Snipes have to do with this film? Absolutely nothing. What did the Oscars have to with film? Absolutely nothing. I thinks its in really poor taste to slander people who professions are to entertain, so that we can review them about their work, nothing more. Anyway to those that wanna read a review about the movie, I loved this movie, it was very intriguing. Anyone who knows the Lord, will truly appreciate this film.
