I would like to start by saying that the movie isn't really an action movie, it plays more of as slow burn drama. Not sure why it was listed as such because the only action comes within last 15 minutes of the film.
With that said I found this to be an slightly ok watch. The premise of the movie isn't bad by any means and the film was easy to follow along with. I thought Taye Diggs and George lopez did alright job with the provided source material. Plus I found the ending to actually be quite emotional.
Outside of that there were quite bit issues I had with this film. First the film does get quite draggy and there are a crap ton of scenes in the film that serve no purpose other then to pad it out. Second while I gave compliments to Diggs and Lopez for there acting. I found Jennifer Tao's acting to be one worst I've ever seen in film. She was just horrendous for so many reasons and there was virtually zero chemistry with her and Diggs. I also had issue with Cusack while I love his work normally. He felt extremely out place in this film and it felt like he was just there to cash a quick check. Lastly the film has bad habit of beating you over the head with things ranging from BLM, police brutality, politics, etc. It got to the point where you felt like you were teenager again getting yelled at by your parents.
Would I recommend this movie? If you stumble across it and Have urge to check it out go ahead. Just don't have high expectations.
