I never saw the play but did see the movie when it was first released. After all the hype I was totally let down by it. Perhaps it was too much action in such a short period of time or other factors that made it so unrealistic to me...while Elyse Neal gave a strong performance there were other aspects of the other performances that annoyed me...don't want to get into too much detail in case someone that hasn't seen it yet still wants to go. I'm all about supporting black cinema but I could have easily waited for this to come out on video.
I don't know if the play opened the way the movie did but I think it was the opening that made the ending so anticlimatic since we already knew what was going to happen. It could have easily been a great movie..instead its just ok.
