Total garbage. I think Ving is still upset about his basement romance in "Pulp Fiction ". And will someone please givev MeMaw Pam a mirror. It's too late to try acting lessons. I can never watch "Foxy Brown" again, I know what the future holds for her. Do yourself a favor...follow a dog until it leaves a pile and look at that for 90 minutes. It will probably be more entertaining than this. Did I mention the bad wigs?

My people my people. Skanks and hoodrats and the worst acting ever. All involved belong in jail. Still a pos movie after all these years. One real gangster would have all these losers on the corner. Glorified urban dog crap.

Horrible acting, terrible CG, useless plot, but it did a good job of portraying entitled karens(most) and Ken's in action. Thank goodness for remotes.

So a sauerkraut submarine soap opera in the grunts and groans that is German. Unless you enjoy watching nasty looking, undereducated, masterracers,, whose great-grandkids should be cleaning my toilets for minimum wage, this is for you. Throw in the usual violence, tension, nazi/Jewish secret romance and a special gestapo/wannabe nazi/French commie lesbian love triangle and you have the reason why I may still watch some when I need a sleep aid. Mostly I would suggest that "Das Boot" get da boot.

After accidentally catching this fine film, I found myself seeking a copy to show in the U.S.History courses that I teach. While not Native myself, I do find that you cannot understand the problems of the modern US without taking a close look at the status of Blacks and Native Americans in a land built on the concepts of freedom, respect for culture and equality. The period detail is excellent. The archival images included in the film are striking and well thought out. The acting and plot elements very appropriate and excellently developed. The characters are complex and a very good representation of how individuals of that time would have functioned. The topic and supportive info detail an environment and actions by citizens, commercial parties and the government that are amongst the worse in US History. While I could see how some who would, by cultural background be forced to relate to the negative characters in the film, might desire to keep these types of events buried in the past. Exposure helps explain why we still have much to overcome if this society is ever really going to effectively blend.

I recommend this for open-minded individuals who appreciate good historical fiction. Those leaning more towards revisionism might want to pull out their favorite copy of "Birth of a Nation" or "They Died with Their Boots On" (Good movies, but get real!
