We get a fairly ordinary reiteration of familiar themes capped with some moments that strain credulity, e.g., "surprise, it's the very same cop!" and "a black hitchhiker from the hood somehow forgets that a middle-class white guy might see his cryptic behavior as threatening." The latter moment really bothered me because the film, at other times, comes down heavy on the idea that these divisions are so deeply ingrained that they can't be set aside easily, if at all; they inform who we are at such a deep level that the hitchhiker's mistake is unbelievable-- as if it were needed to set up a climactic moment, say. Also, the Persian dude totally needed to get all cheese-grater on his enemy. Sorry if we talked about this already.
