Whew, Samuel sure knows how to ace the art of awkward tension. Talk about feeling uncomfortable 90% of the film. I wish I could just have an entire movie just of Chris and Lisa's lives together - they were too cute.
Patrick Wilson can fuck me sideways.

Interesting movie. It plays out "racism" a bit differently, with Turner (Samuel Jackson) being the racist bigot and Mattson (Patrick Wilson) being the victim. The movie builds up the racial tension so patiently, cautiously. There are moments of thrill when you'll be worrying if the yelling and name-calling would turn violent--and turns out it's cleverly tuned down to a humane, civil negotiation. The conflict is played nicely like this sort of tension is highly probable to happen in our backyard.
That interesting build up, unfortunately, is resolved with a cartoon-ish, (un)expectedly boring in the ending, making all the tension feels useless and crashed all the way down.
