What a great performance by Don Cheadle (Hotel Rwanda)! So were Chiwetel Ejiofor and a supporting cast led by Martin Sheen. This movie is definitely worth seeing.

The last Don Cheadle movie that OPL foisted on its unwitting public: "Reign Over Me", also starring Adam Sandler - was a disaster with audiences & at the box-office because it had no redeeming value whatsoever... a mindless vehicle for Adam Sandler acting even more quirky than usual... Cheadle doing his best to turn the movie back to some semblance of substance, but sabotaged by the plot and Sandler... and Jada Pinkett-Smith, doing what she does best - playing a ball-busting wife ( man, was she annoying in this... no wonder Will Smith in real life on talk shows always complains about being hen-pecked!)
