Had this film in my watchlist for over a year. Just watched it, and it did not capture me the way I expected it to.
I loved the fact that it showcases many actors from "The Wire" and other Baltimore natives.
For me, too much of the movie was predictable. It continually gave me the sense of familiarity with other films of it's nature.
With that said, the base storyline was well laid. The dramatic scenes, actors, and sets were really good. I was pleasantly surprised with the all-star cast containg Common, Charles S. Dutton, Danny Glover and Michael K. Williams. When each appear in the film, may expectations grew with anticipation.
I'm the end, I rate movies according to my willingness to rewatch. Although it was a good movie, I don't have the feeling to rewatch.
