Quotes

Meyer: Every once in a proverbial blue moon we stumble across an author who may verily change our lives. Someone from we know not where, perhaps even Dante's own paradise, who assembles the words that we must read and hear. None of your scribbler of syntax, but a heavenly scribe with powerful ideas. An absolute and true author. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Thomas Carter.

How could Forrest Whitaker Stoop This Low
5 July 2014 | by (Maryland) – See all my reviews

Forrest Whitaker is one of the most talented actors I have seen within the last few decades. I would put him on the same level with Sidney Portier, Denzel Washington, and Daniel Day-Lewis. His character in the Last King of Scotland was astonishing and the Oscar he received for the role was truly earned.

I guess it doesn't take long for Hollywood to forget how talented an actor is, and Whitaker wasn't offered anymore challenging roles. I guess, for financial reasons, he took whatever roles were offered.

To say this movie was completely awful and was poorly written is an understatement. The characters were unbelievable and the storyline did not make any sense. First of all, how could a street thug become transformed into a licensed therapist and earn TWO graduate degrees within a time frame of 4 years? How come the little girl did not hear any screaming after she left the locked room she was in? Why did the child's mother allow the father to have so much unsupervised time with the child? It was obvious he was unbalanced and unstable.

I just can't believe how low Whitaker stooped to make this garbage. Not worthy of an actor of his caliber.
