Antwone Fisher Review
Antwone Fisher is a hearwarming, yet shockingly real drama that does not dissappoint.
PROS: Denzel Washington and Derek Luke are amazing. The weight of this movie lies almost entirely on the performances of these two actors, and they both do a tremendous job. Derek Luke more than holds his own in several scenes that include only he and Denzel. Also, I thought the movie did a great job of not sensationalizing things. This makes for a very real, more believable drama.
CONS: The movie follows a very linear storyline, not your typical peaks and valleys. Not necessarily a really bad thing, just different.
Overall: I kept waiting for this movie to get sappy or overly dramatic, and it never did. The story of Antwone Fisher's life is interesting, shocking, sometimes sad, and inspiring. Highly recommended.
