His take on the troubled young man, at this point of his life, in turmoil and suffering for a bad hand life, up to now, has dealt him, is very true. He is an actor who, with the right guidance, will go far, no doubt. One of the best things the film has is, without a doubt, the fine performance by Derek Luke.

It seems that the film does what few films are capable of: Creating an ending that almost forces the viewer to forget about all of the tired cliches used in the rest of the film.

Unfortunately his directing doesn't The first 80 minutes of the film are bland and boring filled with lackluster performances.
