Trivia:

Will Smith and Rosario Dawson had previously co-starred in Men in Black II (2002) six years before (or seven, if one goes by filming dates), where they also played each other's love-interest.

Goofs:

Errors in geography: The 911 operator gives the hotel address as 9212 West 3rd Street in Los Angeles. That address is in the middle of Beverly Hills not that far from Rodeo Drive. A seedy motel would hardly be situated there.

Quotes:

[first lines]
911 Operator:911 emergency...
Ben Thomas:I need an ambulance.
911 Operator:I have you at 9212 West Third Street in Los Angeles.
Ben Thomas:That's room number 2.
911 Operator:What's the emergency?
Ben Thomas:There's been a suicide.
911 Operator:Who's the victim?
Ben Thomas:I am.

Best Will Smith Drama Yet........truly moving!

Great frigging film.

Let me put that more eloquently.....frigging fantastic.

I was really moved by this work.

It was touching on so many levels.

and the acting and performances were nuanced, layered and authentic.

from all players.

really, really great work that brought tears to my eyes...more than once.

I won't go into the plot of the film. Just see it. The less you know the better.

Will Smith's best work to date. The man has so truly grown and CONTINUES to grow as an artist (and human being) - that's the part that really amazes me.

Excellent work by Mr. Will Smith. (and Rosario and Woody Harrelson and Barry Pepper, et al...)
