Starring - Sandra Bullock, Don Cheadle, Matt Dillon, Jennifer Esposito, Brendan Fraser, Terence Howard, Chris 'Ludacris' Bridges, Ryan Philippe, Michael Pena

"This Paul Haggis film about urban angst and the effects of racial discrimination and bigotry of society had a big impact in a post 9/11 world and showed a compelling type of American cinema that was finally able to portray its fears and frustrations at the tragedies happening all around it. The impact of the film comes down to the clever screenplay full of nice touches, and show stealing performances by Matt Dillon as a racist cop and Terence Howard as a black TV producer who denies his own identity to blend in with society."

Drama, USA/Germany
