Shadowboxer Opening Weekend

I saw this movie at the American Black Film Festival and liked it. The film was original and not cliched at all. The film stars Cuba Gooding Jr., Monique, Stephen Dorff and is directed my Lee Daniels. Cuba Gooding Jr. did an outstanding job as a hitman who is part son and part lover to his stepmom. He was assigned a jog to kill a pregnat woman, who actually begins to give birth during the hit. The story was really well written and all of the actors in the movie did an outstanding job, including Monique who definitely surprised me. She was a crackhead that is in love with a doctor. If you are in Houston, TX check it out at the Angelicka film center downtown. I give it 5 out of 7 jewels.
