With EM, it will probably be a major blockbuster. He deserves it, he is excellent. The scenes at the bonded customs warehouse, at the Harrow club and checking in at the hotel are each worth the price of admission all by themselves. However, I find it incredible that a street kid turned cop from Detroit could grow up in the same neighborhood as anyone, least of all a white knockout blonde, who could, by her mid twenties, wind up running a highly successful art gallery. In general, outside of EM, the movie contains the following black characters: - A harried Detroit Police inspector (EM's boss) - A gay brunch waiter - An uptight Beverly Hills cop Amazing!
