    This is a movie that I never can get tired of. I loved this movie from start to finish and it is non-stop drama. I love Angela Bassett she is a EXCELLENT actress and Lawrence Fishburne is a EXCELLENT actor. I recommend this to anyone, has a very good lesson behind it to. A true must see. If I could give it more stars, I would.
