I really enjoyed Jeffrey Wright's turn as a gangsta, the movie itself is okay, but nothing special.

6/10. SLJ was the only logical choice at the time. But Jeffrey Wright really stole the show. Weird that Batman is in this.

6/10. SLJ was the only logical choice at the time. But Jeffrey Wright really stole the show. Weird that Batman is in this. "SLJ was the only logical choice." How so? What criteria are you going by? The logical criteria should be that the actor is a young black American, handsome, sexy, charismatic, and able to play an ex-police officer who now works as a PI and is willing to break a few rules to serve justice. Samuel L. Johnson immediately fails two of the major criteria: NOT handsome and, by 2000, not so young anymore. There were a bunch of other actors available at the time who would have been much better choices. Off the top of my head, there was Malik Yoba, Morris Chestnut, Taye Diggs, Terrence Howard, Shemar Moore, possibly Mekhi Phifer (instead of in the much smaller role they gave him in the film). "Weird that Batman is in this" Not weird, considering that he also starred in American Psycho as the psycho that same year.

Also, why couldn't they cast actual Latino actors in major roles? Wright was absolutely amazing in Basquiat. A lot of his other work I haven't been impressed by.
