24309, Everyone keeps saying 'MAGNOLIA' and 'GRAND CANYON'

But to me... it felt much more like 'SHORT CUTS.'

Good flick. Dug it. Few things struck me as odd:

- The Asian characters had no "positive" side to them.

- The Muslim daughter had no negative.

- The Hispanic locksmith had no negative either.

- The Sandra Bullock/Brendon Fraser characters were completely self centered and (besides being the vicitims of the jacking) also had no redeeming qualities.

Matt Dillon knocked that flick outta the park for me. We were joking that if '24' should ever try to pull a 'CSI' move and make multiple shows for different cities, they should give him a call.

Terrence Howard was amazing, but Don Cheadle raised the fuckin' bar in that movie. His work was incredible.

Good flick.
