While the story was good, Talk To Me had a number of slow transition scenes. The progression of the plot never really picked up enough to keep my full interest. The cinematography could have been a lot better. I found myself readjusting my focus quite often to adjust to the extreme darkness that occurred in many of the scenes (most of them being the pool hall scenes). I enjoyed most of the acting in the movie. Don Cheadle did not disappoint me in this film (he has yet to disappoint me in ANY film of his that I've seen).
What really caught my eye is the performance of one Chiwetal Ejiofor, who plays alongside Cheadle as the main supporting actor. I remember his supporting role in Serenity, and I like his acting in both of these movies. Although both of these roles have him in the position of supporting actor, I can see him getting starring roles in the near future.
With it's excellent acting and true story, Talk To Me is a pretty decent movie. Unfortunately, the progression, cinematography, and a few other aspects of the movie were lacking in that "wow" factor that makes a great movie. Altogether, this film receives a 6.5/10.
