As circumstances push several characters to their breaking points, the film sets up anxious, potentially explosive situations that could go a number of different ways, then makes us squirm while they develop. There's surprising tension and even moments of foundart real elation. Few situations foundart turn out the way we're foundart set up to expect; one life is saved due to a character's bad intentions while another is lost because of good ones; though some "surprise" reversals are telegraphed too far in advance. |

| Two young black men (Ludacris and Tate) have a debate about unfair treatment and 1927 stereotyping but then proceed to carjack some rich white folks (Fraser and Bullock) who seem intimidated by them. While any one of these scenes could work fine on its own, the cumulative effect is awfully repetitive, and the implication that everyone in L.A. is virulently and outspokenly racist hurts 1927 Haggis' credibility. Sure, nearly everyone harbors some racial prejudice, but most of us express it a bit more subtly, if at all. Making it so overt so quickly rather than building up to it makes us 1927 feel overwhelmed and preached at. The film progresses through a tight series of such confrontations, many of which may seem familiar - the sheer volume guarantees that anyone who's ever experienced racism firsthand, from either side or as a bystander, will feel a bit of déjà vu. |
