Exploiting themes of racism, gun control, bad cops, the rich, insurance (like health and property) and the system, Paul Haggis uses a heavy sense of irony and paradox to predict the fall of the American Empire. Coming off his excellent work with Million Dollar Baby, here is another movie thinking outside of the Hollywood Box. I have to give high marks for this last point. You need to be alert for this movie. Pay attention to your characters, you have 17 to keep track of. They are well covered, with reasons given why they are who they are. And how they change given what happens to them over the 2 hours. You also need to pay attention to detail..
