Despite its non linear structure I wouldnt describe it as 'tightly woven'. The individual plotlines dont sit or flow very well-infact Id say its scrappily put together. Fractured film making works well when it all comes together e.g Magnolia or 21 grams. This film fails to bring it all together.<BR/>However I guess its all subjective-thanks for replying to review though.welshDJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03046805721827856353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13301854.post-1127068575171361862005-09-18T19:36:00.000+01:002005-09-18T19:36:00.000+01:00Well, almost the complete opposite, a tightly woven tapestry of urban LA life. The 'racist' element is an excuse for not being aware, of not appreciating the common bonds inherent in society. Any one living in a multi ethnic society will recognise and understand the pressure that create the frustrations that are completely divorced from racism. The Police oficer with the dying father, takes his venom out on anyone, his dedication to duty also knows no boundarys when they need help, the complex relation ship between father and daughter, the protection the daughter offers and gives is reflected in the life or death incidents. A complex story of trauma, of principles abandoned, of protest, with both happy and sad endings in equal numbers. <BR/><BR/>Not a great film but a very good film. The cameo roles, the questionable politics within US society, the humour and repartee all contribute to a good ebeings entertainment.Descarteshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17158289463246531668noreply@blogger.com
