I can't give this a low, low score because it is a technically proficient movie - good camera, good lighting, and realistic environments and dialog.
Unfortunately, the script was utterly boring.
It's clear the writer and director were trying to make a connection with the audience, and cause them to well up with tears for our poor, afflicted main character (Jaime Foxx). But, when the cresendo came and the climax passed, I was just playing mental gymnastics wondering "When will I start caring?" It's yet another example of a great movie affected by an un-remarkable and un-moving script. Too bad, I really wanted to like this one...
Take care, ... Christopher
