Spike Lee's follow up to his brilliant "Inside Man" is a major disappointment. Unlike Rachid Bouchareb who successfully shed a light on the French-Arabs involvement in the WW II in his "Days of Glory", Lee fails to do the same for the African-American. The film starts right with an act of a senseless murder in New York and a stolen sculpture by a veteran with a secret. The problem is with the script that looses focus with too many characters. It should have stayed with characters introduced at the beginning but shifts to different character in the flash backs. The talented cast is at the mercy of the poor script which limits them to make an impression, even though Derek Luke, Michael Ealy, Laz Alonso and Omar Benson Miller try their best.
