Donnie Rose (Rossif Sutherland) went to prison for beating a young man so brutally it left him handicapped for life. Nine years later, Donnie is out. He's a different man with only one place to go: back home to the same violent and racist neighbourhood that created him. At the other end of town, the black community still wants revenge. The instrument of justice will be Ossie Paris (Flex Alexander), a devastatingly talented boxer who challenges Donnie to a match; a match Donnie's family and peers won't let him refuse. George Carvery (Danny Glover) has waited nine years to avenge his son's fate at the hands of Donnie. When finally they meet face to face, however, both realise they share a similar desire to overcome the past. As the barely contained racism boils to the surface, George and Donnie form a seemingly unlikely alliance. Their partnership makes them outcasts from both tribes, who will only be satisfied by blood in the ring. The two men get to know each other in the eye of a storm, knowing full well that their futures will be decided with the bell of the first round. |

this is a great film. like other reviewers said, nobody expected it to be this good. it is a poetically beautiful movie with cool actors to play out the whole movie appropriately. there are some unnecessary even somehow disgusting scene to portray rose sodomized a cell mate, and i think it's a totally unnecessary appendix that should be deleted. and then, his jail habit obviously took charge again, he first did an anal sex with his sister-in-law then, curiously did a normal sex conduct a moment later. what i worried about and couldn't believe is how could it possible his in-law won't get germs and infected in her urinal system? these two scenes should be edited and partly deleted, because if without these two misconducts, this film would become even greater! because danny 'decker' rose, the character portrayed in this film was a person who was constantly in remorse and felt sorry for what he had done to another human being. by showing these two bad scenes, well, it would degenerate this young man one level lower.
there's also a hidden agenda and an undercurrent that this movie was trying to depict subtly, i.e., the black and white communities were like water and oil, they could never be mixed and adapted to each other. the hatred , the discrimination and the despise to either community were so deep and so strong. it was just hung on a very thin ice that would break up in any moment. this film also subtly showed that most of the white families in that community were mostly white trash, they discriminated their black neighbors so openly and so unreasonably violent, while all the black families were all normal ones, even still having those black young men holding strong grudge to danny rose and his brother(a typical example of white trash). there were moral issue, family value, forgiveness, humanity, racial hatred and tension in this movie and all wonderfully probed. a cool movie that should be appreciated by most people and would make a lot of people to think twice and think deeper and look around their neighborhoods, to all the races around them, to realize what kind of families they actually have and what kind of attitude they treat other people of all races. |
