My Response: I first heard of this film quite a while ago and I had pretty high hopes for it. While the initial premise seems a little flimsy, I am usually impressed with Spike Lee joints. The cast is also solid, with Derek Luke being a strong up and comer. But, most of the reviews are pretty bad, so I might save this one for Netflix.
