***This is my first review, and normally I don't care about writing reviews, but since this movie has NOT yet gained the recognition it deserves, i want to play a small part in that*** If you asked me before to watch a movie with just 2 actors who play in 1 room for 90 min, i would laugh and leave!!! But 5 min in this film and I got captured. The dialogue, the discussions, all as if I was standing right there and debating WITH them Both actors outperformed even themselves as actors and led a discussion of light and darkness, right and wrong, actually so many things that it's one of those rare movies that I'm going to watch again! This goes straight into my (imaginary) Top10 All-Time-Favs-Movie list

Going into this movie with no trailer only on a recommendation of a friend It didn't take me too long to figure out why i was sent to this movie. The debate over life and death as it relates to religion and lack of faith has always been a touch stone in my life. Tom Jones and Sam Jackson are two of my favorite dialog deliverers, they speak the lines as spontaneous as breath. The see saw of atheism versus Christianity was well versed and always captivating till the final scene of Jones' "White" speaking of the destitution his character has been wrapped in since birth. The single stage scene was completely lost to the actors interaction and debates which raged on into the morning. There sides while well established never faltered in their defense of their beliefs, but sincerely responded to criticism of the others and honest retorts without insulting the other side.

It is a superb film which can raise more questions than the answers it provides. It is not just about atheists and believers, white and black people, rich and poor or life and death. It is about who you are, who you could be and who you would like to become as a person. I hope this film would last double the time(90 minutes are not enough to give answers, not even to raise your truthfully questions). Superb acting, marvelous directing(simple, but meaningful). I hope for a sequel(a white-rich man saves from suicide a black-poor man). It would be a whole different film but with the same principals . Same actors at this sequel would make so much difference to me.

While I did not expect a movie enacted as a play It was due to the skill of these veteran actors made it enjoyable. While understanding the two religious beliefs and point of view for each of the characters, I came away with the notion that it is the sane people who would commit suicide. Most of the people in the world follow a plan and stick their heads in the sand as sort of societal automatons. It also seems that Jackson was stunned by the reason that Lee wanted to commit suicide to the point he had to let him leave the apartment. That from where I was viewing. I have recommended this movie to a few people. I know people of both persuasions so it will be interesting what they get from the movie.
