    • Trivia
      The plot for this movie is loosely based on real-life events that happened in Altadena, California, involving an interracial couple and an African-American Los Angeles Police Officer.
    • Goofs
      The wildfires come closer to the neighborhood, with no ash. The air close to a fire could be very toxic, and should be extremely ashen, especially towards the end of the film.
    • Quotes

      Abel Turner: [laughs] Is that a 'We Are the World' 'fuck you'?

      Chris Mattson: No. It's a special one. Just for you.

    Good movie worth seeing...
    If you're a Samuel L. Jackson fan you'll probably watch this movie disregarding a good or bad review. I'm a fan and watched this movie with few expectations and thought it was a good movie worth watching at least once. Sam Jackson did a great job,and the other actors did well in their performances and meshed together really well. There are some great points in the movie that have quite a bit of tension and anger which was put across really well. This is of course not a work of art and has no moral to the story,but not all movies need to teach a lesson. What do you do when a racist,crazed cop lives next door and starts to harass you? I gave it a 6 out of 10. Good film with a decent premise,worth watching.
