I think that movie had subtext out the ass...sociological, racial, economic, political, and sexual subtext like a muthafucka. Now, if one went into this movie thinking of it like it was...Soul PLane or some other bullshit popcorn film, with no attempt to acknowldedge possible subtext, then yes...this movie could be easily seen as hot monkey shit...but for me all the subtext JUMPED at my black ass of the screen, and seriously made it one of my favorites of the year.
