In the light

What this movie shows is that whatever is done in the dark will truly come to the light. This "down low" life is REAL. What is so troubling is that many of these men don't inform their partners (as shown in the movie) and needlessly subject their spouses/girlfriends to unnecessary hurt, pain and sometimes STD's.Though this movie has some really good actors, it was sloppily written and directed. Actors can only work with what their given.

Just misses being good and ends up being a mess

Church going house wife is arrested and charged with murder. Things become complicated as her neat little life begins to unravel and when its clear the Assistant District Attorney prosecuting the case doesn't care if she's guilty since he's looking to win the up coming election. Weakest film directed by actor turned director Bill Duke. Feeling more like a Tyler Perry wannabe thriller then the realistic and often gritty films that Duke usually turns out, this film seems more intent on being about something other than the mystery at hand. The film has a weak script which has too many "dark secrets" that the good cast can't really turn into anything truly worth watching. It just misses...and whats worse you can see it going whizzing by...
