Interesting, but could have been better
20 March 2004
Interesting movie about a New York City drug dealer who comes upon a mythical drug 'grace'. The leading male and female actor and actress did a very nice job. In one scene a man is doing 'grace' for the first time. The main character is questioning him from the shadows and the lighting effect works well. Unfortunately, however, the scene drags on a lot longer than it should have. Also, while the leading male role was well played, the part for him was not very well written. He was so overly contemplative and sensitive that it seemed like he would have been better suited as a poet in the movie than a ruthless drug dealer. Also, the writer goes at such pains to shows the bodyguard's loyalty that the ending is not as big of a surprise as it could have been. The grace and the storm idea and the grace and wrath of God parallel was a good idea, but it could have been more developed. Despite being somewhat critical I do still have to say that it held my attention for the most part and so I would recommend it.
