Good, just not what I expected

From watching the trailer I expected this to be a thriller centered around Norton on the day before he is due to go to prison. Will he go on the run, will he kill himself, will he get revenge on whoever sold him out? In truth this is quite a heavy drama about friendship and knowing who you can rely on in the darkest of times. It is good though.

Only rent this if you're a big Spike Lee fan. If this is representative of his talent he won't be winning many more fans. Edward Norton is usually good, but the script was so dire it made him appear dis-interested. All the characters were grumpy and miserable, and 30 minutes into the film I decided I really couldn't care less what happened.
excellent

having seen edward norton in american history x, this proves that he can carry a film and create an atmosphere unique to his acting abilities. the movie itself was interesting and made captivating by norton's presence, will certainly watch again or even buy.
strong story

I had this for a long time before I got around it viewing it and in the end I had to force myself to watch it...glad to say I was pleasantly surprised and I really enjoyed this film. It had that nice indie feel to it and a good strong story, well told.
Reasonable viewing

I am not a huge Spike Lee / Edward Norton fan, as I always find the films quite hard going - this was no exception.
It was enjoyable, but wasn't entertainment at it's easiest......you have to concentrate if you are going to fully understand this film.
