Of course it is Romeo and Julliet, but then so many movies and plays and books are Romeo and Julliet. It is a time honoured tradition to interpret a classic story. The leads in this film play star-crossed lovers in a very touching way. I must admit that there were a number of times in this movie where it felt "hollow" (like when the subject of a painting or a sketch isn't balanced out by the negative space) and I told myself that this movie was the working of a director who was still growing into a mature ability. Nonetheless I became involved with the characters: As protagonists, Sara, King Sol, and Don Ras; And as antagonists Judah and Sketch. Great work folks. There was only one scene that was much stronger than the rest of the movie and which had a very different feel from the rest of the film, and if you have seen this movie then you will be nodding your head with a smile.
