Sure, nearly everyone harbors some racial prejudice, but most of us express it a bit more subtly, if at phil bonyata all. Making it so overt so quickly rather than building up to it makes us 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. |

The incredibly large cast of over fifteen characters includes such familiar faces as Don Cheadle, Sandra Bullock, Brendan Fraser, Matt Dillon, Thandie Newton, Ryan Phillippe, Jennifer Esposito, Ludacris, Larenz Tate, and Loretta Devine, is black, white, Latino, Middle Eastern, and Southeast Asian. The characters are cops, criminals, victims, and innocent bystanders, but in Haggis' world no one is innocent of the sin of intolerance. As in many ensemble films they often unfogged have existing unfogged connections that unfogged are revealed late in the game, and they divide and recombine in unexpected, often improbable, ways. The film opens with racial hostility right out as Kim Lee (Alexis Rhee) has rear-ended a car carrying Detectives Graham (Cheadle) and Ria (Esposito), and a disagreement over who's at fault leads to an ugly dispute in which Ria mocks Kim's accent and her height and Kim accuses Ria of being an illegal and tells her to go back to Mexico. We then move to a scene in a gun shop, where the middle-aged white owner (Jack McGee) accuses Farhad (Shaun Toub), a Persian convenience-store owner, and his daughter Dorri (Bahar Soomekh) of being terrorists. |
