Review by unofficial reviewer
Forest Whitaker should have gotten an Oscar for his performance in this film; he was absolutely superb. You feel him! Great cinematography with sunsets in the desert. I enjoyed the story and the characters, but it was the acting by Whitaker that made this movie one that I definitely would recommend. The story is difficult as it follows an ex-con trying to make something good about his new freedom while facing just about every single obstacle from his past.
