Only reason that movie was partially watchable. nikka was in supreme a$$hole mode, yet and still that ending was straight bullshyt.

I didn't even see him as a a$$hole, dude just became a dikk after his wife passed and didn't see how Kerri could love that cac

Office Frank Tenpenny the movie

The scene where he tried to get the dude to commit that had me

I really like that movie, I saw the preview and thought it would be garbage, but Ebert's review convinced me, and I thought highly of the movie. Effective thriller, with a slow burn, and the twist that imo, you are, (at least I was) giving Samuel Jackson the benefit of the doubt far after any reasonable amount of time or intimidation, because he was black, and did such a great job with the role. I watched a few seconds last night, I'll probably turn it on for the repeat this afternoon. The scene that killed me was the strip tease in front of his daughter and Kerry Washington.....shyt was getting real uncomfortable at that point.

He is a grade a a$$hole in this shyt. It's kind of annoying

 

[Silkk]

man this dude is ridiculous

 

[Easy-E]

I remember the first time I saw this. Sam did kill it.

Definitely written pretty well

Movie was bugged out. The comedy in this shyt is crazy.

Abel was just a dikkhead.

I always thought someone should do a GIF of Sam, in a few scenes, he was acting crazy...

I remember after I saw this I recommended it to a few friends, or some how the subject came up and I said I thought it was good, few months later they are harassing me like 'That shyt was wack', I just think they couldn't appreciate it..it's a smarter movie then a straight thriller, lot of subtleties about race and racisim, among other topics...The trailers sell it as a 'cop gone mad' but it's not at all, Jackson's performance and star power, charisma is so strong, you empathize with a throughly spiteful, malicious, vindictive, bitter, and twisted man long after you should...
