Lakeview Terrace

Point I Fell Asleep: ACTUALLY STAYED AWAKE
Location: Home
Time I Started Movie: Afternoon
IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0947802/

Remind me to never move in next to a police officer, especially one as crazy as Mr. Samuel L. Jackson. This movie was surprisingly good. Not great, but not as crappy as I was expecting. It's the typical cop drama, but it also hit on the race card, interracial dating, corrupt cops, child abuse, etc. However, the ending was TERRIBLE. Once you've seen it, read the spoiler about my rant on it.

***** SPOILER ALERT *****

Alright, you KNOW what I'm going to talk about. How did homeboy NOT put the gun down? 99.9% of people would put the gun down in that situation because 1) they're going to eventually cuff the cop and see the gun in his back and 2) he has the phone and the phone records to prove the cop was corrupt. Worst case, you tell internal affairs and have them check the cell phone log. PLUS, you're risking your life because he could have easily put that bullet in your head instead of just your chest. Horrible, horrible ending!

***** SPOILER ALERT *****
