Director Neil LaBute's thriller about racial tensions in LA with the reversal of the races. Instead of a racist white cop, we get a black one in the form of Samuel L. Jackson who makes it work as he sets out to destroy the marriage of his new interracial neighbors played by Patrick Wilson and Kerry Washington. While the film is a formula thriller that Hollywood keeps recycling, LaBute and the talented cast make the ride entertaining for current times. The actual wild fires add for a nice back drop to the story. The talented Wilson and Washington have an authentic chemistry that also works in favor of the otherwise predictable thriller. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
