A stupid mom (Julianne Moore) has her kid die and tires to cover it up with the usual "it was a black guy done jacked my ride" story. Mr. Mo'fucker himself is the cop assigned to uncover the real story by sticking with the mom. Overly melodramatic at times, the ending doesn't really surprise. This move is Samuel L. Jackson's "best work" in the following two instances:
While describing his first meeting with the mom to another cop:
Samuel L. Jackson: "She shook my hand. She shook my motherfuckin' hand!"
In another scene after another black cop gets lambasted for being a "three piece uncle tom" Samuel L. weighs in with "Yeah, brotherfucker" or something like that.
Otherwise, this movie is useless.
